This episode of SANDCAST: Beach volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Canadians Grant O'Gorman and Ben Saxton, who are the second-ranked Canadian team in the race for Tokyo 2021.

More than pushing for Tokyo, however, they -- and especially O'Gorman -- are pushing for men's health awareness, as O'Gorman was diagnosed with, and beat, testicular cancer.

On this episode, we cover:

- O'Gorman discovering his testicular cancer, beginning in Hamburg, Germany, at the World Champs

- How the coronavirus may have actually saved his life

- How O'Gorman and Saxton became partners, and O'Gorman's brief stint living in a van

- Saxton's new mindset of not focusing on the Olympics, but simply trying to be the best he can be, every year

- The upcoming King of the Court event, the first time either has competed in the format

- The rise of Canadian volleyball, particularly the women's side

This episode, of course, is brought to you by Wilson Volleyball, the best balls in the game. Use our discount code, Sandcast-20, to get 20 percent off!
