Former NBA player Chase Budinger has transitioned to beach volleyball and is competing in the Paris Olympics with partner Miles Evans. The pair advanced to the knockout round after winning a 'lucky loser' match against Australia. Despite a defeat to Spain earlier, Budinger and Evans are determined to progress further and will face Norway's gold-medal-winning team from the Tokyo Olympics in the 'Round of 16.' All four Team USA beach volleyball pairs have advanced to the quarterfinals. The atmosphere and support at the iconic Eiffel Tower venue have been electric, adding both pressure and excitement for the athletes.
