This episode of the Road to Paris, where Travis Mewhirter breaks down the Olympic race to the Paris Games, follows the Espinho Elite16. Big congrats, first, to Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth who made a third straight final and took gold, and Sweden’s David Ahman and Jonatan Hellvig, who made their eighth straight final and also won gold. As far as the Olympic race goes, Mewhirter talks about:
- The massive role a NORCECA qualifier on April 5 has played for Chase Budinger and Miles Evans
- The even bigger lead now enjoyed by Budinger and Evans over Theo Brunner and Trevor Crabb with just two events to go (and what Crabb and Brunner need to do to get back in the lead)
- Matthew Immers’ improbable run to a likely Olympic bid as the odd man left out at the beginning of the quad to now ranked No. 9 in the Olympic rankings with Steven van de Velde
- SHARPIE! For Daniela Alvarez and Tania Moreno, 22-year-old Spaniards who are making history - and then returning to TCU
- Anouk Verge-Depre and Joana Mader stay alive with a ninth
Thank you as always for watching and listening, and thank you, as always, to Producers 1 and 2 for the help!
SHOOTS!

Thanks for the update Travis! Your Orioles crushed our Red Sox today. The computers at MIT gave up trying to figure out this Olympic points formula! Go USA 🇺🇸

One of the most entertaining commentators of all time
Good on Miles & Chase for pulling ahead of the race at the end. I remember an episode that was done a few weeks ago giving the Sandcast predictions for the Olympics. Besides the Swiss women, US and Dutch men, what individual teams should we be looking at for these last 2 events? I know that the Grimalts are close to the cut off along with Horl/Horst as well as Lithuania for the women. Would love to hear which teams are right on the cusp and fighting for those last 2-3 spots for the Olympics

End of the video has that for ya! Grimalts, Horl-Horst, Cuba are the biggies. Pav-McBain, Sophie-Heather, Germans, Anouk vs. Zoe for the women are the biggies there
I thought there was no hope to keep Trevor out of the olympics, then here comes Miles Evans to save the day. Let's see if they can close the deal.

haha it would take a big-time effort from Trev to close it out. Seen crazier things though

Well said! Love all the information, ty! I remember calling Miles after he won the Norceca tourney and we both knew how important and huge it was that he won that tournament. So proud of him and Chase! Miles is my little big brother btw. Ty for posting this

He's won a Tour Series but even the AVP doesn't count those (nor do the players)

Thanks guys!❤ The real question.. do we think Tri and Trevor would have qualified 🫣

Good question...given their international record at the end, tough to make that bet

Theo is slightly better than Tri right now. Athleticism isn't all. Theo has a better side out percentage and better blocking. He sucks at setting off system balls, but that isn't the most important skill.
@umrobe62

I actually think the 2nd spot would have gone to Chaim and Theo. They had the size and consistency to compete internationally.
Miles did win an AVP in 2022 Denver with Benesh if I’m not mistaken?
@lucaspirolli7448

I think he is talking about major events. Most good teams don't play Denver. They were also saying that Sean and Caldwell were in their first AVP final this last weekend (they won Waupaca last year). Same idea.
