It helps them somehow to be a bit higher in Olympic ranking or not too much?

Olympic rankings are calculated through a pairings 12 best finishes (In Futures, Challenges, Elite16s Continental Championships, Worlds) throughout the qualifying period. While it does count towards their total, Futures events don't award enough points to make a big impact on qualification (Winner at a Futures gets 400 PTS, the cutoff average will most likely be around 600 PTS).

 

The tournaments that will help most towards your OR are: World Champs (160-1600 PTS) Elite 16's (340-1200 PTS), Challenges (140-800), and Continental Cups (Don't know the points system, all I know is that you get 800 PTS if you win). 

 

For Poland, Bryl/Losiak will almost definitely qualify through World Rankings. I'm high on Kantor/Zdybek too, and think they'll qualify. Gruszczynska/Wachowicz are a bit of a wild card, they could qualify, but they could also miss out, but whatever happens they'll probably be right on the cusp of qualification.

Gstaad 

[Josh 10,852]

FIVB Elite 16 Gstaad, Switzerland

 

Women’s Tournament

Gold- Eduarda Santos Lisboa/Ana Patricia Silva Ramos

Silver- Kelly Cheng/Sara Hughes  

Bronze- Taryn Kloth/Kristen Nuss

 

Men’s Tournament

Gold- Miles Partain/Andy Benesh

Silver- Anders Mol/Christian Sørum

Bronze- Andre Loyola Stein/George Souto Wanderley

 

Bryl  fractured his toe midway through the men's bronze medal match (21-18, 11-7 POL) and as a result, they had to retire, giving the Brazilians a spot on the podium. Final between Mol/Sorum and Partain/Benesh was very high-quality beach volleyball, would definitely give it a watch if you have time. Mol/Sorum are some of my favorite athletes, so was extremely gutted to see the match not going in their favor.  Partain/Benesh are legit though, thought Ostrava was a fluke, but oh was I proven wrong. Could potentially see them medaling come Paris 2024. 

 

Duda/Ana Patricia and Hughes/Cheng are the two best female pairings in the world now, by a decent margin, so not surprised to see them competing for gold. Another 5th for Mel/Brandie (Now 3 5ths at FIVB level in 5 tournaments), and now they're starting to turn into TKN

Never heard of the men's gold/silver medalists before this tournament. Also, surprising to see Samoilovs/Smedins fail to make the podium.
