Miles Evans and Chase Budinger of the United States fell to Spain’s Pablo Herrera and Adrian Gavira on Friday, dropping to 1-2 in Pool F play at the Paris Olympics.
This puts Evans and Budinger in third place in men's beach volleyball Pool F.
They still have a chance to earn a spot as one of the top third-ranked pool teams or through the so-called "lucky loser" matches that will take place on Saturday, but they'll have to wait for all pool play games to conclude before finding out if they qualify.
