Seven will broadcast the Asian Beach Volleyball Championships live from Sydney’s Manly Beach on 7TWO and PLUS7 live on Monday.

In preparation for the 2016 Rio Olympics, Seven will be broadcasting the Asian Beach Volleyball Championship; the epic final event of the 10-day Manly Volleyfest. Australia is the reigning Asian men’s and women’s champions and will be competing against powerhouse teams from China, Japan, Thailand, New Zealand and many more.

Two-time Asian champions Chris McHugh and Isaac Kapa, and current World U23 champions Nikki Laird and Mariafe Artacho del Solar will head the Australian challenge, with both teams also hoping to take a major step towards qualifying for this year’s Rio Olympics.

The Asian Championships carry valuable qualifying points for Rio, providing extra incentive for the best teams from Asia and Oceania to perform well.

The Asian Championships will be hosted by Jonathan Fogarty, with expert analysis from Olympic Beach Volleyball Gold Medalist Kerri Pottharst and American Beach Volleyball legend Randy Stoklos.
