“I was a novice broadcaster and he was an excellent one, but I had to help him with the volleyball and it seemed to work out well,” Marlowe says. “The United States men went on to win the gold medal, so it was quite a thrill.” “Celebrate the joy of the play, and not just when it's the United States,” is the directive, he says. “You've got a lot of people watching. It's not all Americans.”
However, that’s not a typical experience, he admits. While Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor were household names back then, fewer people know about the athletes competing in 2024. Marlowe says he prepares for the Olympics by learning athlete names and double-checking the pronunciation guide because “there’s nothing that makes people madder than if you’re pronouncing their names incorrectly.
On the American beach volleyball side, Marlowe believes the two women’s teams have shots at medaling, particularly the top team, which he thinks could easily win gold.
