This Quick Set episode of SANDCAST features Sophie Bukovec, one of the brightest young stars on the Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour. Hailing from Canada, not exactly a country you might expect to be producing regular World Championship finalists, as Bukovec was in 2022, Bukovec describes the wild process of getting onto, and staying on, the Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour. It is, as you would expect, not easy.
Bukovec is off to Doha next week to compete in the 2022 World Tour Finals with Sarah Pavan, her new partner and Olympic running mate.
SHOOTS!
