Taylor Crabb aims for 2028 Olympics after Long Beach AVP event

Taylor Crabb is set to compete in the AVP event in Long Beach this weekend, a location for the 2028 Olympics beach volleyball. Crabb, who previously missed the 2020 Olympics due to COVID-19, feels re-energized about aiming for the next Games, inspired partly by his strong partnership with Andy Benesh. Having competed on various teams in the past, Crabb credits Benesh's professionalism as a major motivational factor. Their performance this season has been among the best in the AVP League, which serves as a key opportunity for athletes ahead of the Olympic venue's official debut in 2028.
