U.S. women’s volleyball team qualifies to defend its Olympic title at 2024 Paris Games
In exciting volleyball news, the Team USA women’s volleyball team has secured its spot in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Where they’ll aim to defend their first Olympic title, won in Tokyo. With a world ranking of second, the team dominated an eight-team Olympic qualifying tournament in Poland, finishing with an impressive 6-1 record.
Notably, the Tokyo gold medalist, Annie Drews, led the charge with a remarkable 27 points in the clinching match against Germany. The top two nations from the three concurrent Olympic qualifiers secured their place in Paris. Had the U.S. not made the cut, they would have relied on their world ranking to qualify next June.
This achievement follows their fourth-place finish at the last world championship, and it’s also marked by the return of Olympic MVP Jordan Larson from her planned international retirement.
Larson, alongside six more Tokyo gold medalists, including new team captain Justine Wong-Orantes, contributed to this historic qualification, and we can’t wait to see them shine in Paris. Meanwhile, the U.S. men’s team is gearing up for their Olympic qualification bid in Tokyo next Saturday. The volleyball excitement continues!
