Izac Carracher grew up on the Northern Beaches and though his junior tennis career was burgeoning, volleyball became his sport, where he represented Australia at Under 17 and Under 19 level.
It wasn’t until he had played in the NCAA in America for USC in Los Angeles and had returned to the University of Sydney that he began to play Beach Volleyball seriously.
Carracher began playing with Mark Nicolaidis in 2022 and the pair immediately won their first International tournament. The partnership has since gone from strength to strength and now find themselves representing Australia in the Paris Olympics.
The Aussie pairing will start their Olympic campaign off at 11:00 p.m. on 27 July Sydney time. They play the Swedish pairing of Ahman and Hellvig in Pool A at the incredibly iconic and telegenic Eiffel Tower Centre Court.
They play two other pairings in Pool A — the Italian pairing Cottafava and Nicolai(5:00 p.m. Sydney time on 29 July), as well as the Qatari pairing Cherif and Ahmed(6:00 p.m. Sydney time on 1 August).
The venue at Champ de Mars beneath the iconic Eiffel Tower, has a capacity of 12,000 people and will no doubt bring some of the best imagery from this Olympic games.
Stan Sport will have a dedicated Beach Volleyball channel to watch every match live.
