Beach Volleyball Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024

[Josh 10,306]

18th quota men’s Olympic race

 

Horl/Horst: 7260 pts (900, 760, 720, 640, 600, 600, 600, 600, 460, 460, 460, 460)

Grimalt/Grimalt: 7260 pts (800, 800, 760, 760, 640, 640, 600, 600, 460, 460, 460, 460)

 

Tight as it can get for the 18th and final Olympic quota, between Horl/Horst and the Grimalt cousins. 
 

Somewhat coincidentally, assuming both teams take care of their opening matches, both teams could take on each other in the 2nd round of qualification. Horl/Horst hold the tiebreaker amongst the two pairings (most points throughout the qualification period), so the Grimalts will need a 9th if they’ll want to qualify for the Olympics.

With the qualification draw having been announced, Diaz/Alayo and Hodges/Schubert have qualified for the Olympics. 
 

Made a mistake though with the 18th women’s quota, Fernandez/Soria haven’t yet qualified. 

 

Fernandez/Soria: 6800 pts (720, 640, 600, 600, 600, 600, 600, 600, 460, 460, 460, 460)

Bansley/Bukovec: 6280 pts (760, 680, 720, 600, 600, 460, 460, 460, 460, 400, 340, 340)

 

Bansley/Bukovec will need at least a semifinal finish, with Fernandez/Soria finishing no better than 13th. If Fernandez/Soria finish 9th, Bansley/Bukovec will need a bronze medal or better. If Fernandez/Soria finish 5th, Bansley/Bukovec will need to win gold.

And Pavan/McBain don't have any options?

They were 1st on the reserves list, and Volleyball Canada’s selection criteria for the NORCECA Olympic Qualfying Tournament is each pairing’s top 4 finishes in 2024. Bansley/Bukovec have been much better, hence why they’ll probably be selected over Pavan/McBain.

Brouwer/Meeuwsen lost in the qualifications, therefore it's sure Van de Velde/Immers and Boermans/De Groot are qualified for their first Olympic Games. I'm very happy both teams will be in Paris. 

 

About the draw: the French entry  will be seeded 6#  , therefore poule F will be the weakest poule automatically. Number 6 or 7 or 8 from the Olympic Ranking will be drawn in this poule and have an advantage. 

 

Both Dutch teams will be 9-11 and therefore drawn in the poules A, B or C with Ahmann/Hellvig   and Mol/Sorum , unless the ranking changes massively after Ostrava.

Brazil with only 1 woman's pair? I find that highly unusual and surprising 😮

Duda/Ana Patricia were already mathematically qualified so Brazil will have two pairs
