Beach Volleyball Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024

[stratocumulus 68]

Don't you think this qualification via the Nations Cup is quite a pervert thing? You have to have two fairly good times and one of them is sure NOT to go to Olympics even if they jointly win the competition. What incentive does it give the "weaker" duo to support the team performance? I could imagine a crate of beer they drink later together on the beach would not necessarily do for a motivation :D And what if there has been some past between the members of the two duos?

 

All in all I find it one of the most curious qualification processes ever;]

It's the first time since 2004, that a  pair actually qualify for the olympics. Good job Lézana Placette and Alexia Richard

It's pretty dumb. The process only benefits large nations. It pretty much cost a spot at the Olympics a few games ago.

and the format is horrible.

#2 plays #2
#1 plays #1
in case of tie, #1 plays against #1 again? 

it makes no sense... why not #1 against #2, #2 against #1 and in case of tie, #1 against #1?
