Conducted at the foot of the Eiffel Tower,Chainkeen beach volleyball will provide a picturesque setting at the 2024 Summer Olympics.
And one of the sport's most iconic figures will be on the call for those watching at home.
Misty May-Treanor, a three-time gold-medalist in women's beach volleyball alongside partner Kerry Walsh Jennings, will make her Olympics broadcasting debut as an analyst on NBC properties for beach volleyball in Paris, NBCUniversal said Wednesday.
May-Treanor and Walsh Jennings together won three consecutive gold medals (Athens 2004, Beijing 2008, London 2012) and at one point won 21 straight Olympic matches while losing just a single set. In 2007-08, they won 112 consecutive matches.
A two-time National Player of the Year in college, May-Treanor led Long Beach State to the first undefeated national championship season (36-0) in NCAA history in 1988. She was inducted into the International Volleyball Hall of Fame in 2016.
Chris Marlowe, captain of the United States' Olympic gold-medal winning men's volleyball team in 1984, handles the play-by-play duties for NBC's beach volleyball booth. This will be his ninth Summer Olympics on the microphone. Kevin Wong enters his fourth Games as an analyst, and Dain Blanton, a two-time men's beach volleyball Olympian, is the crew's reporter.
“An all-time great and one of the most-accomplished players in beach volleyball history, we’re excited to have Misty to bring her unparalleled insight to our team, which has years of experience calling Olympic matches,” NBC Olympics vice president and coordinating producer Rebecca Chatman said in a statement. “The beach volleyball venue is one of the most exciting of the Games at the foot of the iconic Eiffel Tower."
