American Jake Gibb is set to become the oldest Olympic beach volleyball in history.
Gibb, 45, and Taylor Crabb, 29, qualified for the Tokyo Games on Friday after fellow Americans Phil Dalhausser and Nick Lucena were eliminated in pool play of the last Olympic qualifying tournament in Ostrava, Czech Republic.
Dalhausser and Lucena, both 41, grabbed the second and final U.S. men’s Olympic spot on Saturday after Tri Bourne and Trevor Crabb lost in the round of 16 in the Ostrava tournament. Bourne and Crabb on Friday needed to win the event to supplant Dalhausser and Lucena.
