2024 Paris Olympics: Full men's beach volleyball schedule and how to watch
The 2024 Olympics are underway, but these aren't just any Olympics. They're the Summer Olympics, and nothing means summer more than the beach.
Beach volleyball has been one of the more popular Olympic sports this century. With American stars like Phil Dalhausser, Kerri Walsh, and Misty May-Treanor, there have been rather high expectations for Americans in beach volleyball the last few Olympics. That has made it all the more disappointing that the United States men have not medaled in either of the past two Olympics.
This year feels different though. Former NBA player Chase Budinger will be teaming up with Miles Evans for a shot at Olympic immortality. Here's the full men's beach volleyball schedule breakdown as we start this year's Olympics.
