Hello, beach volleyball fans! After one week in which we came out earlier on Wednesday for good reason as we wanted to keep you well-informed on the European Continental Cup Finals, we’re back to our normal Friday slot brining all the information you need heading into the weekend.
Beach volleyball players from around the world are in the last stages of their preparation for the Tokyo Olympics and next week’s World Tour event in Gstaad will play a big role on it, but the day all 48 teams qualified can’t wait for is Monday, July 5, when the drawing of lots will happen.
Before that, some of the top beach volleyball players in Europe will spend the week competing in the continent as the strong Swiss and Dutch National Tours are currently hosting events.
Here’s all of that and more:
Olympic Drawing of Lots in Moscow
Now that we know who the 24 teams in each gender headed to the Olympics are, it’s time to break them down in pools and start the fun. The 24 men’s and women’s teams which earned the right of representing their countries in Tokyo will be split in six pools and there will, of course, be some groups of death waiting to happen in Tokyo. The draw will take place in Moscow, Russia, on Monday, July 5, and we’ll recap it shortly after the last ball is picked, so come back to check if your favorite team was on a lucky day or not.
