Road to Paris: Stefan Boermans and Yorick de Groot Just Did That

Road to Paris: Stefan Boermans and Yorick de Groot Just Did That

This episode of The Road to Paris, Travis Mewhirter’s breakdown of the Olympic Beach Volleyball race to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, follows the season-opening Doha Elite16, where Stefan Boermans and Yorick de Groot won a shocking gold (not shocking that they won, but shocking in how they did it), Tina Graudina and Anastasija Samoilova took a critical fourth, Laura Ludwig and Louisa Lippmann made the most of their wild card, and Trevor Crabb and Theo Brunner continued tacking onto their lead. On this episode, Travis chats about:

  • Why Stefan Boermans and Yorick de Groot are now nearly a lock to qualify for Paris, despite having only eight finishes
  • Why those 100 percent probabilities for Tina Graudina and Anastasija Samoilova were on the money
  • Chase Budinger and Miles Evans’ awesome, but also discouraging, finish in Doha (and a shout-out by Brandon Walker and Mark Titus at Barstool Sports)
  • Anouk Verge-Depre and Joana Mader jumping into the No. 2 Swiss spot for the first time

And a little bit of everything in between. What a fun start to the year, and only more to come.

SHOOTS!
