Episode Four of The Road to Paris, breaking down the Olympic beach volleyball race with Travis Mewhirter. After two wild weeks of @volleyballworld Challenge events in Itapema and Saquarema, Brazil -- as well as an @avpbeach in New Orleans -- we've had a ton of changes, including:
- Miles Evans and Chase Budinger rebounding in a HUGE WAY
- George Wanderley and Andre Loyola staying the Kings of Itapema
- The Brazilian women have gone sicko mode
- Terese Cannon and Sarah Sponcil are evolving
- Valentina Gottardi is getting ridiculous
And a whole lot more!
SHOOTS!
