TOKYO — Beach volleyball is a fan favorite at the Olympic Games and April Ross is one to watch on Team USA.
“It’s just such a cool thing to go out there and do the best you can for yourself, your team and your country,” Ross said. “I think literally that’s what motivates me everyday and I visualize it, even when I’m trying not to visualize it, I picture being at the Olympics and it gets me all fired up.”
Ross won a silver medal in the 2012 Olympics and bronze in 2016.
Beach volleyball starts on the first day of the Tokyo Olympics, July 23.
This year, she’s playing with Alix Klineman, who is considered a breakout star.
