Currently ranked fifth in the world, Australia\u2019s top bet for the Olympic Games are bringing both their individual and shared lessons throughout their careers to take the coveted gold medal home.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56644\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/GetPhoto-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/GetPhoto-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/GetPhoto-300x187.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/GetPhoto-1024x639.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/GetPhoto-768x479.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/GetPhoto-1536x959.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/GetPhoto-2048x1278.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/GetPhoto-600x374.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tokyo 2020 will be the second time they will be stepping on Olympic grounds, but it will also mark the first time Artacho del Solar and Clancy are competing together in the quadrennial event. Teaming up after the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, the Australian duo has already hauled FIVB World Tour and Asian Beach Volleyball Championships gold medals.<\/p>\n<p>Their young partnership at a major event was first tested on home soil at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games where they finished second. A year after, Artacho del Solar and Clancy won the bronze medal at the Hamburg 2019 FIVB World Championships. With great chemistry and hunger for gold, the duo is setting their expectations high for the upcoming Games in Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56641\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/AustraliasMariafeArtachoandTaliquaClancyarethrilled-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1872\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/AustraliasMariafeArtachoandTaliquaClancyarethrilled-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/AustraliasMariafeArtachoandTaliquaClancyarethrilled-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/AustraliasMariafeArtachoandTaliquaClancyarethrilled-1024x749.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/AustraliasMariafeArtachoandTaliquaClancyarethrilled-768x562.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/AustraliasMariafeArtachoandTaliquaClancyarethrilled-1536x1123.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/AustraliasMariafeArtachoandTaliquaClancyarethrilled-2048x1497.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/AustraliasMariafeArtachoandTaliquaClancyarethrilled-600x439.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are young which in a way is exciting because I believe we still have so much to give and learn. We have a special connection and the trust we have in each other and our team is one of our biggest strengths. We are both super motivated to get on the podium in Tokyo and I think having been to the Rio 2016 Olympics, we know what to expect heading into our second Olympics,\u201d Artacho del Solar said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though we are still young it will both be our second Olympic Games. We played in separate teams and I think our different individual experience is an advantage and makes us strong,\u201d Clancy said.<\/p>\n<p>The Australian team\u2019s first World Championships together could not be any more memorable and fulfilling. Mariafe\u2019s knee injury early on in the tournament did not dampen the duo\u2019s hopes. As history books would tell, Artacho del Solar and Clancy did not give in and went on to win the bronze medal.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56642\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CheeringAustraliasTaliquaClancy-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CheeringAustraliasTaliquaClancy-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CheeringAustraliasTaliquaClancy-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CheeringAustraliasTaliquaClancy-1024x713.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CheeringAustraliasTaliquaClancy-768x535.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CheeringAustraliasTaliquaClancy-1536x1070.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CheeringAustraliasTaliquaClancy-2048x1426.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CheeringAustraliasTaliquaClancy-600x418.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me each event in which we\u2019ve medaled is super special. Maybe (the World Championships) would have to be high on the list (of most memorable events) because of what we had to go through when I did injure my knee during the tournament. Why? First round out of pool play I did my meniscus on my left knee. I\u2019m so grateful for my team and their support which helped me get through one game at a time all the way to bronze,\u201d Artacho del Solar said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had some adversity during the Championships with Mariafe getting injured and we stayed strong as a team and we were able to get the bronze medal. So proud of the whole team,\u201d Clancy said.<\/p>\n<p>As it has been with all the defeats they have faced, their semifinal defeat at Hamburg 2019 only left the World No.5 team hungrier and more fired up for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. For Artacho del Solar, the secret ingredient to their overall success is how they dissect their experience, pick out and carry the lessons, and quickly move forward.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56640\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Australia-Clancy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Australia-Clancy.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Australia-Clancy-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Australia-Clancy-1024x697.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Australia-Clancy-768x522.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Australia-Clancy-1536x1045.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Australia-Clancy-600x408.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t say we\u2019ve had a disappointing result, I think each tournament that we haven\u2019t got a medal in, it\u2019s been a lesson and we\u2019ve bounced back from it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach experience teaches us something, whether we win or lose there\u2019s always something to take away. I love learning and growing and pushing myself outside my comfort zone. How will they help you make it to the podium in Tokyo? Trust, belief and focusing on the processes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo much fire in my belly after losing that semifinal. It\u2019s good to go through those moments at such big events like the World Championships because now we know what to expect and we can learn from that experience.<\/p>\n<p>Clancy, on the other hand, highlighted the trust they have established over the years. The heartbreaks they have had to endure are, at best, a reminder of things they have to improve to turn the tides to their favor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery event we compete in we learn and grow. With this mindset we bounce back quick even if we haven\u2019t had our best performance or tournament. We have great trust and belief in our team, so we\u2019re always getting stronger and growing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKnowing that we weren\u2019t at our best and we were still able to step onto the podium gives us a lot of motivation and reinforced the trust and strength of our team. That experience will help us a lot leading in the Olympics,\u201d Clancy said.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56652\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/OKOK.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/OKOK.jpg 960w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/OKOK-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/OKOK-768x530.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/OKOK-600x414.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This quick-bounce-back mindset has helped the Australian team quickly face and cope the postponement of their first Olympic Games together. The year they will make their dreams happen will be different, but the goal remains the same for Mariafe and Taliqua.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI quickly came to terms with it and took it as a positive. It\u2019s given us an extra year to get better, to be better prepared physically, mentally and emotionally and to continue to learn more and grow our game. I guess now our goal is to actually take action and make it happen,\u201d Artacho del Solar said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOlympics being postponed helped me see new areas of my game that I can keep improving and given that extra time. Goal still remains the same gold at Tokyo,\u201d said Clancy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56645\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Image2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Image2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Image2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Image2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Image2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Image2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Image2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Image2-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Half a year from now, the World No.5 will fight to turn their vision into Olympic domination. Artacho del Solar and Clancy\u2019s partnership was not made overnight. Instead, it was built over years of manifesting their goals, working hard in the gym and in the sand, and going all out every time they step on the court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always knew I was going to be in this position, I\u2019m very lucky that I\u2019ve known and believed.

Of course, you can\u2019t just imagine it and it will happen, I\u2019ve had to work hard and like anything that doesn\u2019t come easy I\u2019ve had to overcome many challenges but I\u2019m grateful for them, it has made me stronger and has shaped me to be the person I am today,\u201d Artacho del Solar said.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56639\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1-9-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1-9-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1-9-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1-9-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1-9-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1-9-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1-9-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1-9-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Follow Taliqua Clancy and Mariafe Artacho del Solar on Instagram <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/taliqua\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/taliqua\/<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mariafe_beach1\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mariafe_beach1\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Related links of AVC<br \/>\nAVC Website: click www.asianvolleyball.net<br \/>\nAVC Facebook: click www.Facebook.com\/AsianVolleyballConfederation<br \/>\nAVC Twitter: click: https:\/\/twitter.com\/avcvolley<br \/>\nAVC Instagram: click: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/avcvolley\/?hl=en<br \/>\nAVC Youtube: click: Asian Volleyball Confederation<br \/>\nAVC WeChat: Asian Volleyball Confederation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bangkok, Thailand, January 10, 2021 \u2014 A right mix of youth and experience will be the main weapon Taliqua Clancy and Mariafe Artacho del Solar are looking to wield in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":56646,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[88,100,86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-56638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-beach-volleyball-news","category-slider","category-volleyball-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
