TOKYO, June 28 (Reuters) - The United States and Brazil have hogged the medals in beach volleyball over the years, but the Tokyo 2020 Olympics could mark a shift in the balance of power as new rivals emerge, setting the stage for a tough competition.
That could liven up the atmosphere at the urban beach volleyball events -- one of the biggest crowd-pullers -- although only a limited number of spectators will be allowed in at Shiokaze Park on the capital’s waterfront due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since beach volleyball joined the Olympics sports programme at Atlanta 1996, the United States has won 10 medals including six golds, while Brazil has won 13 medals including three golds.

A day of practice and an evening family dinner
“I’ll be home on my birthday,” said Alison, a two-time world champion and an Olympic silver and gold medal winner. “The plan is to have a normal day, with training and everything else, and join my wife, my mother and my sister for dinner in the evening to celebrate. December 7 was also my father’s birthday (Abilio, who died on January 30, 2018), so we try to get together and celebrate the great memories we had with him during his life.”
With the fifth and final Brazilian event for men scheduled next week in Saquarema where he and Alvaro Filho won the second and third legs, Alison said “getting back to competition has been important for our bodies and our minds. After six months without tournaments, it’s been good to be able to get that rhythm back.”
