Olympic Beach Volleyball Rankings for the 2024 Paris Games

The Olympic race for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games officially began in February in Doha, Qatar, with the Volleyball World Elite 16. We’ll be providing live updates for the Beach Volleyball Olympic rankings throughout the next two years at VolleyballMag.com. Two USA women’s pairs rank first and second.

A few notes:

• To qualify for the Olympic Games via the Olympic rankings, teams use their best 12 finishes throughout the Olympic qualifying period, which ends June 9, 2024. The top 17 from the Olympic rankings will punch their tickets to the Paris Olympics. The remaining seven spots are allotted to five continental cup champions, the winner of the 2023 World Championships, and the French wild card.
• Each country is limited to two teams who can earn a spot in the Olympic Games.
• Teams can never push out good finishes. Once you hit your 12, you only replace your worst finishes. In parentheses below is the number of events each pair has played.
• We cut our rankings off at 24 teams since the Olympic Games is a 24-team event. If you think we should add more, we’re open to suggestions.
