Paris: Qatar beach volleyball pair Cherif Younousse and Ahmed Tijan will be aiming to qualify for the semi-finals on Wednesday, while 400m hurdler Abderrahman Samba will be gunning for a slot in the final at the Paris Olympics.

Younousse and Tijan – the Tokyo Games bronze medallists – will take on USA’s Miles Partain and Andrew Benesh in the quarter-finals at 11pm Qatar time. The duo have been in prime form in Paris, having won all four of the matches so far. If they get past Partain and Benesh on Wednesday they are scheduled to face Sweden’s David Ahman and Jonatan Hellvig in the semis. Younousse and Tijan had beaten the World No 1 pair in the group stages and look determined to win a second successive Olympic medal.
