Welcome back to the Paris Pod, where Travis Mewhirter and now Kyle Friend break down and analyze the Paris Olympic Beach Volleyball. It has been a wild few days, with the standout storylines being:

• Cuba, Jorge Alayo and Noslen Diaz, absolutely charging, upsetting Andy Benesh and Miles Partain, then George Wanderley and Andre Loyola, to take the top spot in pool

Been an AWESOME Olympics thus far!

SHOOTS!
