Melissa-Humana Paredes/Brandie Wilkerson qualify for Paris in women’s beach volleyball! Olympic qualification period is far from over, but according to this article (highly credible website) mathematically there’s no chance for 17 teams to have overtaken us by June 9. Still need to get two tournaments in though. 

 

One of my biggest hopes for a Paris medal, alongside Kharun. Really hoping we can put the disastrous quarterfinal day at Tokyo 2020 behind us

Pretty tough draws for both of them (assuming Spain and Greece get in), but it's always going to be tough at the Olympics. The goal for both teams is to make it to the quarters without facing the Americans there.
