The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris are officially underway.

One of the competitions that will begin in just a few short days is volleyball. There are two separate volleyball competitions; indoor volleyball and beach volleyball.

Indoor volleyball is the standard form of the sport, consisting of two teams of six players. Indoor volley has been in the Olympics since 1964.

Beach volleyball is relatively new to the Olympics, joining the Games in 1996. This variation of the sport is played on sand and is played between teams of two. It's also worth noting that countries can send up to two different beach volleyball teams to represent them in the Games.

Let's take a look at the list of odds to win both the indoor and beach volleyball tournaments in the Olympics.
