KELLY CLAES

The AVP is heading back to the beach with a bunch of new teams and a lot more tournaments for them to figure things out.

The American team of Sarah Sponcil and Kelly Claes were ousted from the Olympic beach volleyball tournament by Canada.

“I think they’re just sort of working out some kinks,” said Bansley, a two-time Olympian who is paired with Brandie Wilkerson in Tokyo. The close-up, slow motion replay on the stadium video board showed the ball had clearly missed the blue tape that signifies the court boundary.

Belarus track sprinter Krystsina Tsimanouskaya says her Olympic team officials tried to remove her from Japan in a dispute that led to a standoff Sunday evening at Haneda Airport in Tokyo.

"We’ve gotten kind of used to it, but it’s still weird," said Team USA athlete Kelly Claes.

Caeleb Dressel is expected to be the star of Day 7 at the Tokyo Games as he seeks his third gold medal in Friday night coverage of the Olympics.

Caeleb Dressel got his first individual gold medal and the Chinese women put together a record-setting relay.

Three-time beach volleyball gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings was defeated in her bid to reach the Olympics for a sixth time when she and partner Brooke Sweat lost in a qualifying match in Ostrava, Czech Republic.
