Fan Wang and Yuan Yue (China) are today’s featured team in the Road to Rio series.  As of June 6, 2016, their Olympic ranking is #16 overall and the #1 ranked women’s team to represent China.

Road to Rio is a photo series of the top beach volleyball teams competing to qualify for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.

In 2013, the FIVB returned to U.S. soil for the first time in 10 years. I have been fortunate enough to attend the Long Beach, CA event for the past three years and watch the best beach volleyball players in the world.

Images are from the 2014 FIVB Long Beach Grand Slam and 2015 FIVB Long Beach Grand Slam.
