Arnaud Gauthier-Rat: Pushing France Beach Volleyball to Unprecedented Heights

Arnaud Gauthier-Rat: Pushing France Beach Volleyball to Unprecedented Heights

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Arnaud Gauthier-Rat, the top beach volleyball player in France who has recently teamed with the young – and impressive – Teo Rotar. Already, they have locked up a spot in this fall’s World Championships in Adelaide, Australia, and are a dark horse contender to medal. Recorded at the Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour Hamburg Elite, Gauthier-Rat and Mewhirter sit down to chat about:

  • The epic Paris Olympics – and the pressures of being the home team
  • The wild qualifying process for those Paris Olympic Games, and the incredible stress put on Gauthier-Rat and his then-partner, Youssef Krou
  • A crazy run at the European Continental Cup, where Gauthier-Rat first teamed with Teo Rotar to clinch a second bid into the Olympics for France
  • The bright future of France, whose youth talent is overflowing

And much, much more. This one FLEW BY.
