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 the primary week of March 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 after worldwide points-earning tournaments:
With three occasions remaining within the Olympic qualification interval — an Elite16 in Espinho, Portugal, a Problem in Stare Jablonki, Poland, and an Elite16 in Ostrava, Czech Republic — the ladies’s race has been basically boiled down the fact tv present of Maintaining With the Verge-Depre Sisters.
In some way, with every episode, they proceed to maintain tempo with one another.
Zoe Verge-Depre and Esmee Bobner led older sister Anouk Verge-Depre and Joana Mader, bronze medalists on the Tokyo Olympic Video games, coming into the season. Anouk and Mader took the lead on the season-opening match in Doha, and the lead has flipped each single occasion since, every staff one-upping the opposite in a formidable show of Swiss energy. When Zoe and Bobner received their first gold medal at a Problem in Guadalajara, Anouk and Mader almost matched it with a silver in Xiamen however took the lead nonetheless. Zoe and Bobner responded once more his previous weekend in Brasilia, Brazil, claiming a bronze medal, their first podium at an Elite16.
Again within the lead they went.
Zoe and Bobner now maintain their greatest lead over Anouk and Mader, a 460-point edge that, on paper, would appear secure, however that is the Swiss race we’re talking of — no lead has been secure for a single week in 2024.
An identical sentiment might be mentioned of the boys’s Dutch race. A gold medal by Stefan Boermans and Yorick de Groot to open the season in Doha, and three straight fifths from No. 3 Steven van de Velde and Matthew Immers, appeared to settle it: Boermans and de Groot had cemented one spot, whereas Alex Brouwer and Robert Meeuwsen had lengthy locked up the opposite. Immers and van de Velde, although spectacular, would simply miss.
Then got here Brasilia. Immers and van de Velde had by no means medaled in an Elite16. Actually, they’d made only a single podium in a Problem, posting extra qualifier knock-outs than they’d medals within the first 14 months of the qualification interval. However once they wanted it most, they delivered, profitable a silver medal in Brasilia whereas critically knocking out Brouwer and Meeuwsen within the quarterfinals. The 1,100 factors they picked up in Brasilia jumped them to No. 11 within the rankings, simply 220 factors behind Brouwer and Meeuwsen. Technically, they lead Boermans and de Groot, although Boermans and de Groot are nonetheless including two extra finishes with out dropping any.
Who’s the favourite? Exhausting to say, although Boermans and de Groot, who completed ninth in Brasilia, are definitely within the driver’s seat, and Immers and van de Velde have the momentum heading into the ultimate stretch, regardless of nonetheless behind all the way down to Meeuwsen and Brouwer.
Additionally now within the driver’s seat, although for a distinct race, is Chase Budinger and Miles Evans. A fifth in Brasilia is, like van de Velde and Immers, their finest end at an Elite16. Like van de Velde and Immers, it couldn’t have come at a greater time, drawing them inside 100 factors of Trevor Crabb and Theo Brunner. After subsequent weekend’s NORCECA Continental Finals, Budinger and Evans will, for the primary time, be holding the lead for the second USA spot.
