FROM INSIDE THE GAMES: The International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) has extended its Olympic beach volleyball qualification deadlines for Tokyo 2020 after the Games were postponed for a year because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The FIVB’s Olympic world ranking deadline has been pushed back to June 13 2021, while the cut-off for the Continental Cup route has been extended to June 27.

In a statement, the FIVB said they were the only changes to its beach volleyball qualification system from the process which would have been used had Tokyo 2020 been held as planned this year.

It comes after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) told Federations on the Tokyo 2020 programme to stick to their original qualification systems where possible in response to the one-year delay to the Games.

Performing in the Olympics is every athlete’s dream. For Brooke Sweat, making the 2016 U.S. Olympic team was not only the monumental moment of her beach volleyball career, but also a reality check. She and her partner were eliminated in round play forcing Brooke’s early departure from the 2016 Summer Olympics.

That journey to Rio was a learning experience for Brooke. Now four years later she’s in a position to return to the rescheduled 2020 summer games. Between now and then, Brooke will play in both international and domestic matches. She’s a veteran of both, playing in more than 150 professional tournaments – winning 12 times.
