Not sure how they decided, but it looks like the men’s Swiss Olympic spot has been given to Heidrich/Gerson. Heidrich siblings are the Olympics!

The Sams just blew a 19-14 lead in set one against Mexico and lost 24-22. Steady rain. Pedlow unable to side out with any consistency.

They're in serious trouble....their top team was destroyed by Gaxiola and Rubio and even though they're hit or miss at times, I'd have Virgen and Ontiveros as favorites against Ben and Grant

And Mexico has done it 21-13 in the second set. That rain looked awful to play in. Guess the Canadians can finally go home now?

Mexico wins set two 21-13. A rough match for Pedlow. He must have been blocked ten times.
Grant and Ben are the last hope for Canada now.

Wait, does the winner of O'Gorman/Saxton vs. Virgen/Ontiveros play the Mexican team that just won for the Olympic bid?

No, it's a country vs. country tournament....Mexico is 1-0 now....if Virgen and Ontiveros win, Mexico qualify....if O'Gorman and Saxton win, a third match is needed and each country can select their team - even mixing formations if they want

Heidrich siblings are the Olympics! Probably used the Olympic rankings..... The volleyball world article says they won’t make an official announcement until July 1 but Krattiger on IG seems to concede it’s not them. Shouldn’t be too controversial though as Heidrich/Gerson have a much better ranking / record.

5 point lead in the first...that was hard to watch! Come on Grant and Ben!

Looks like we're going to a third match with Canada up 17-10 in the second set after winning the first.

The 12ndr site lists the golden match as Gaxiola/Rubio vs Saxton/O'Gorman. Both teams are warming up already on the live stream, so I'm guessing it'll start fairly soon.

What a gross way to lose an Olympic spot! One game to 15
