The Brazil Episode: Kelly Cheng, Molly Shaw Flip The Switch, Dominate Joao Pessoa

Welcome back to SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter which doubles as a Beach Access episode this week, where Travis Mewhirter breaks down all things Brazil: A full recap from the Joao Pessoa Elite, and brief look-ahead to the Rio Elite this week. He chats:

- Kelly Cheng and Molly Shaw's dominant run through the entire Brazilian federation for their first gold medal as a team

- The home field advantage enjoyed by Evandro and Arthur, who won their third gold medal as a partnership -- all won in Brazil

- The HUGE moves made by Calvin Aye and Remi Bassereau and Portugal's Joao Pedrosa and Hugo Campos

- The incredible Brazil vs. America rivalry, and how it's still as strong as ever

And much, much more.
