The race for the 2024 Paris Olympic Video games formally started in February 2023 in Doha, Qatar, with the Volleyball World Elite16. The 2024 season started final week, again in Doha, and the ultimate occasion of the Olympic qualification cycle would be the Ostrava Elite16, which ends on June 9. We’ll be offering these updates for the Seashore Volleyball Olympic rankings all through the following two years.
It wasn’t a surprising victory in and of itself for Stefan Boermans and Yorick de Groot on the season-opening Doha Elite16 this previous weekend. What was surprising was the style wherein they received their first Elite16 gold medal: Two wins over Norway’s Anders Mol and Christian Sorum, and a 21-11, 21-10 demolition of Sweden’s David Ahman and Jonatan Hellvig within the closing.
That gold added 1,200 factors to their Olympic complete, upping their common to 837 per occasion. Regardless of having simply eight Olympic finishes to their title, all of it however assures Boermans and de Groot a spot within the Paris Olympics, making the Dutch race, unexpectedly, between No. 6 Alex Brouwer and Robert Meeuwsen and No. 16 Steven Van de Velde and Matthew Immers.
All however assuring themselves into the Paris Olympic Video games as properly had been Latvia’s Tina Graudina and Anastasija Samoilova. Final week, after we simulated the Olympic chances for every crew remaining within the race, Graudina and Samoilova got here again with a stunning 100-percent probability. There have been questions — till Doha. Graudina and Samoilova got here out of the qualifier, received pool, and completed fourth, including 900 factors to the ledger and nearly cementing their spot of their second Olympic Video games.
The subsequent Olympic qualifying occasion is March 21-24, a Problem in Recife, Brazil.
