Very surprising result on the women’s side, with Bansley/Bukovec coming out of qualifying to win the silver medal beating some solid teams along the way (including a straight sets win over #1 seed Taina/Victoria in the quarterfinals) They’re most likely not going to be qualifying for Paris through the Olympic Rankings, but pretty much a shoe in for the NORCECA Olympic quota (hope these words don’t come back to bite me in the future ) considering the lack of beach volleyball depth in North America.
