Watch Out for the CAVB Beach Volleyball African Championships 2026 ( Olympic Quota Place Event )

The gold medal winners (men's and women's champions) of the 2026 CAVB Beach Volleyball Continental Senior Championships on Abu Haif Beach in Alexandria, Egypt, will directly secure quota places for their countries at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games. So , total of 4 athletes ( one pair per gender ) will qualify for Olympics 2028 from this event .

Championship and Quota Details
The 2026 tournament in Alexandria runs from August 18 to August 22, 2026. It acts as the primary African continental qualification stage for the LA28 Olympic Games.

Event: 2026 CAVB Beach Volleyball African Championships

Location: Abu Heif Beach, Alexandria, Egypt

Dates: August 18–22, 2026

Participants: 28 countries with 46 total teams (24 men's teams, 22 women's teams)

Quota Reward: Gold medalists in both the men's and women's brackets earn direct Olympic quota spots for their respective National Federations.

Streaming/Brodcast : U can watch its selected matches that will happen on Court 1 on CAVB Live Streaming YouTube Channel .

Preview / Pairs to Watch Out For

On the Men’s Side of the Competition , Moaz Abdelkarim / Youssef Abdelrahman 🇪🇬 and Soufiane El Gharouti / Zouheir Elgraoui 🇲🇦 will be the favourites to win these championships and win an Olympic Quota for their country .

José Alberto Mondlane / Osvaldo Mungoi 🇲🇿 and Kotoka / Samani 🇹🇬 along with the other Morocco 🇲🇦 and Egypt 🇪🇬 pairs would be the dark horses who can potentially upset the 2 favourites and win a Olympic Quota Place for their country in the men’s competition .

The Women’s side is much more open and more difficult to predict but :
Abdelhady / Elghobashy 🇪🇬 , Mellal**/Yakki 🇲🇦
, Muianga / Sinaportar 🇲🇿** , Mbah/Bawa 🇳**🇬 are the pairs to watch out for in terms of favourites to w**in the competition and get a quota place for their country .
Tolofi / Chapole 🇱🇸 can also potentially qualify for Olympics from this event so they too can spring a surprise .

All in all , it would be an exciting event to watch where the first African beach volleyball Olympic quotas will be given.

I predict that the pedigree and home advantage will eventually help Egypt 🇪🇬 qualify in both men’s and women’s competitions but it is not too straightforward as discussed above so let’s see what happens .

Do tell us in the comments how excited are u for this event and who are ur favourites to make it to the Olympics and what u think about our preview

Splurged and got finals track &field tickets for me and my dad :)

My dad’s a football and track and field high school coach and wanted badly to go to the LA coliseum! We got some rugby prelim tickets on the last drop since my boyfriend’s a rugby player.

But I felt like it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to do finals with my dad! And I guess at least we have good seats even if they were 2k each lmao. So excited

Is collecting Olympic pins still a hobby?

I have a ton from 1984, and remember some going for thousands of dollars. Now they’re pretty much worthless. My wife still questions why I keep them.

Did anyone book a hotel through an Olympic hospitality package?

Has anyone here purchased hotel accommodations through an Olympic hospitality package? If so, how much did it end up costing you per night?

Just trying to get a sense of what people are paying and whether the hotel portion of the package is reasonably priced. Any details on the hotel, package, and dates would be really helpful.

Thanks!

Should the IOC Withdraw Their Recognition of FIFA?

The COO of FIFA, Kevin Lamour has been sacked after criticizing Gianni Infantino. This is another troubling development concerning the governance of FIFA. Several years ago, the IOC revoked their recognition of the IBA has the governing body for boxing. What the IBA was doing is only a fraction of what FIFA is doing now.

Based on prior precedent with the IBA, is it time for the IOC to revoke their recognition of FIFA as football's governing body? Can this be done? And how would it be done?

Starting my curling journey

Hi guys. Just wanted to start off by saying that this Black guy (22yo M) has been interested in curling since the age of 13after having discovered it during the winter games in Pyeongchang in 2018, but didn’t get my first experience with it until age 21. I had an awesome time at my local curling club (Peachtree Curling Association) in the Atlanta area, and look forward to starting a new season this year. However, I did want to say that I wish that I could find other Black people who have genuine interest in this sport and would want to take it somewhere. As we know, there aren’t many BIPOC in the world of winter sports and I want to change that. As for resources and community, does anyone have any ideas on where I can find them and bond with others with the same interest outside of the curling clubs? Thank you 🙏🏾.

LA28 Hospitality says my $500 deposit refund may take 30 days ...

I paid a $500 deposit in early March for priority access to LA28 hospitality packages. Once I received access and saw the prices, I realized the packages were not for me.

I forgot about the deposit until today, so I called customer service to request a refund. The representative told me it could take up to 30 days for the money to be returned.

Has anyone else requested a refund? How long did it actually take to show up?

USA men, Canadian women win 2026 Flag Football world titles

DÜSSELDORF, Germany -- The United States successfully defended the men’s title at the flag football world championships on Sunday but lost the women’s title to Canada, while Mexico’s women's team and Canada’s men's team earned qualification spots for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

The U.S. men beat Italy, 46-26, to secure a sixth straight title and the women missed out on a fourth straight title after losing, 27-20, to Canada.

“Gold is the only standard,” said men’s quarterback Nico Casares, who threw two touchdown passes. “That’s our motto. That’s what we play by, that’s what we live by.”

The U.S. women started strongly but it was tied, 14-14, at the break after Caroline Moquin-Joubert caught quarterback Sara Parker’s pass at the end of the first half. Parker set up Frederique Morneau at the start of the second half as Canada took control.

The U.S. had a fourth down, yards from the line, with three seconds left, but could not make the final play count. It was Canada’s third title and first since beating the U.S. in the 2014 final.

“I feel so happy, I can’t believe it,” Parker said after hugging her mother. ”Literally the best day ever.”

The International Federation of American Football ran the championship tournament, which doubled up as a qualifier, in the German city of Düsseldorf.

The top two men’s and top two women’s teams earned a spot at the 2028 Games, along with the U.S. men’s and women’s teams because they already qualified as hosts.

Sunday’s two other finalists -- the Italian men and Canadian women -- earned an Olympic spot by reaching the final against the U.S. teams, meaning that the bronze-medal games decided who joined them.

Members of Mexico's women's team cried with joy after a 20-19 win over Great Britain -- which rallied from 20-6 down -- for the women’s bronze and an Olympic spot.

But Mexico’s men lost, 34-26, in overtime to Canada, which claimed an Olympic spot.

Mountain Biking Tix?

Did they mostly sell out during the locals pre-sale? I was there I think at the beginning of the first drop, but I never saw anything.

I read an earlier post claiming they saw women’s available but no men’s.

The whole is confusing.
