The Last Olympian is Bourne

After testing positive for Covid-19, Taylor Crabb is forced to withdraw from the Tokyo Olympic Games leaving his partner, 4-Time beach volleyball Olympian, Jake Gibb without a partner yet at the last minute calls, Taylor's childhood friend, Tri Bourne to replace Taylor. This is a story of tragedy and triumph and of overcoming impossible odds on the biggest stage, the 2021 Olympic Games...

NBC Sports producers are like “Damn, why couldn’t we make a segment like this?!?” Great stuff! GO USA!!!

[@happymemoriz4240]

and when the world needed him most, he returned.

[@maviswong7815]

Crying after jake said his position is Taylor’s partner 😭😭 Go USA~~~

[@bluewavebaseball2012]

So much to dissect in this one…you guys outdid yourselves telling the incredible story. I had no idea Taylor willing withdrew to ensure Jake was able to play, my opinion of Taylor got so much higher knowing how selfless he was. And the backstory of Tri and just who he is as a person, absolutely is the perfect person for this situation…and Jake to be the steady ship through all these waves and provide what he’s providing. This is truly the definition of making the most of a crappy situation and controlling what you can control. And great job you guys bringing the light to this situation in a way that shows just how deep the connection is

[@williambarkholtrunge6200]

Where Can you watch it

[@galinswigart]

I’ve been waiting for a video on this. You guys are THE ONLY ones to tell this story. Love it! Once again, thank you for filling the enormous storytelling void in volleyball.

[@barney3834]

💯

[@komit7348]

These guys don't just play beach volley, but teach us, our kids and the next generations on how to show compassion, love, respect and brotherly affection to everyone, even to our oppoents on the other side of the court . I'm from Europe and I want this USA team to win the GOLD medal. Period. They are the nicest athletes I've I ever known. Huge respect. (Write this story in a book, it'll become a best seller, promise.)

[@katiewulliman4120]

Honestly, this sport and its players warm my heart. You guys are so relatable and so dedicated to the sport you love just like all of us. I so wish Taylor would have had a chance to compete, but his selflessness will forever be remembered and recognized.

[@thepsycho8599]

Watched Gibb/Bourne live and the chemistry felt palpable! Can’t wait for tonight!

[@Itstime1231]

Haven't watched it yet, but seemed like it was a good night last night.

[@bradleymcmahon4744]

This channel needs more recognition. You guys put together some quality shit

[@FabiannnnT]

Super gutted for Taylor, such a selfless act to withdraw and let Jake play and fight to go out on top. As usual you guys put out an amazing video that tells such an insane story. Again great job with this video!

[@slvdrfrncs]

holy crap this made me cry. Incredible story. I've never seen Jake Gibb nor Tri Bourne play cause I stopped watching beach, but this makes me want to go back to supporting men on the sand!

[@krisbooth8441]

This story is already amazing, thanks for sharing it. No Canadian teams qualified this year, so you better believe I'll be cheering for these boys!

[@amymorrison7482]

Such great story telling! It was so respectful of both Taylor’s and Tri’s experiences and feelings. My heart breaks for Taylor, but I have so much confidence that he will be in Paris in 2024!

[@Bagrboy]

Ugh tears. Y’alls videos continue to surpass my expectations.

[@hunturtle]

Made my eyes well up. The drama, and caring, and subtle secret choices of backup partners, is very much a movie worthy story.

[@whyahtay9171]

All of these story's make me feel like one day i can be a pro.

[@user-di7my1pt9b]

Don't feel like one be one

[@brendana6760]

Now if only I could grow a few more inches and not be 5'9"

[@andresposada7064]

The ability of this Squad of 4 to adapt and to respond to adversity is special. Go for the gold fellas, we're rooting for you🇺🇸🏐💪

[@mtziros2250]

I was extremely sad when I heard the news about Taylor but of course he’s a MONSTER and got through it making really brave decisions, I wish the best for Taylor and I wish him luck in the Finals at the next Olympics as for Tri and Gibb, Go get one for the squad!

[@mtziros2250]

Also, This video had a different story telling vibe and it was amazing, exceptional editing as well! Good stuff

[@rileywaterman9261]

This story will be absolutely legendary if they bring it home. Let's go boys, we're all here for you.

[@kirkmorgan1144]

Such a profound and (well told) life-defining story! I'm so proud of the way Jake, Taylor, Tri and all concerned have come together to honor and sacrifice to something larger than themselves, greater than the one. History will remember this moment long after we're all gone and nothing can take away from the fact you're Olympians! Write it in stone. Go USA!

[@brickspong4773]

Some of the best story telling to date and for friends & brothers who exemplifies what it is to be persistent & walk through life with class! I can’t wait to see what this team of 4 continues to accomplish!

[@apmech46166]

I had no idea this was happening. Thanks for putting this video out. I can't wait to watch and cheer this team of four amazing players on to Gold! Taylor, this is your Gold too! Y'all got this.

[@andreabardi7066]

I'm italian and fo course I support my country; at the same time is so inspired thhe story of each one that I really hope that they can win as much as possible even if for me they are great athlets and human. Thanks Mckibbin to tell this history. All the best for this team of 4 people.

[@millsap40]

I’d love to see a video on how y’all prep and get ready on game day, routines and rituals

[@joshgershenfeld6728]

Incredible video as always. Thank you guys for this. Still heartbroken for Taylor and will be until he finally gets to play in an Olympics. Which i don’t doubt will happen.

[@squirrel9286]

Bummer for Taylor but I know Tri is gonna rock it out

[@nickd901]

Great story guys!!! I've been watching this play out. I can't wait for the next pool match tonight!

[@dandelossantos89]

❤️😘😍🍻 One of The Best Sport Story during Pandemic & Olympic Tournament. CONGRATS to the Team for all it's undertakings. The Sportmanship spirit is on. 🍺❤️👋🍾

[@ejb4774]

Your videos are so inspirational I swear you guys can hype me up for anything no matter what it is

[@jonchang7091]

Wow I had chills the whole time watching this

[@ordepsopmac]

Great story! Riley is the reason I started setting in High School (seeing him at USC) and seeing everything you guys do for the sport now is amazing! Thank you!

[@simplysimple7628]

This was just a goosebump story coming from a huge volleyball fan. To begin with Jake Gibb is at an age where most would be a coach or spectator and he proves us wrong. And for Taylor to be teamed up with such a guy as Jake is like Kobe being teamed up with MJ. It’s insane. Gibb is an absolute legend. So unfortunate for Taylor but he has a guy that is perfect for the job. Especially because they are good friends. I say this all the time. Things happen for a reason. Especially the good. This was destiny. Unfortunate destiny but this was a calling. What would be an absolutely insane is that they come out with gold. I am watching and supporting a 100%.

[@y0shik0ry]

Man you boys are natural story tellers. Y’all give the sport that much more life jus from these videos. And the production is solid to. Keep pushing the game. Love from Atlanta

[@griffjoyce5836]

Really… really…REALLY good stuff, you guys. Well done 😎🏐👍🏼

[@tradestationfan]

Now the world is watching and excited to see the team excel. Great storytelling boys....Army of 4...now we go!

[@romanverbin9350]

I just started playing beach vb, I honestly love the sport and nothing gets me more excited than watching these videos!

[@louisjl23]

Oh man...Chill worthy 100%

[@sergimay4]

Can’t help but cheer louder than ever for USA Beach Volleyball. Go hard guys ❤️

[@carox6434]

This is by far the best video you've ever made in my opinion. Thank you so much for telling this story so beautifully, I loved watching it! Now I'm hoping that Tri Bourne and Jake Gibb can get as far as possible in the Olympics. Thumbs are crossed!!

[@jimmywang100]

Love this back story ..

[@tf_g96]

Your videos and storytelling are always on point

[@barney3834]

As if we needed more motivation to root for these 3... Jake becoming an Olympian again at his age is so inspirational to folks bout to turn 40 to stay in shape and just keep enjoying the game. And Taylor is just Taylor. When I heard Taylor was out I thought about not watching a single game. Glad this strong group of friends had a better, inspirational way of handling disappointment. Awesome how well they meshed all while winning two games. Cherif / Ahmed will be an interesting and tough test. Supporting from 🇨🇭 ! Edit: had to edit this one cause I forgot to say great storytelling !! Shouldn't take great video content for granted !!

[@Xenorous_]

As an aussie after watching this after seeing how well they played against the Switz, I'm so keen to see them give it everything they have! Also Gibb at the end made me tear up....

[@ebbdfamily1]

You’re right McKibbins; rooting for these guys from The Netherlands 🙌❤️

[@daaronconer8989]

Incredible. Might I say that your story telling is, putting it mildly, EPIC! Look forward to your growth.

[@ryankwiatek339]

Amazing job with the production quality!!!

[@UncleSnottie]

This is your best video by far. Like most, I did not know Taylor willingly withdrew rather than risk Jake not being able to play. This is such a good story for all young athletes to hear. Self sacrifice for the team and being part of the team without being able to play. More young athletes could benefit from Taylor's dedication. I actively rooted against Jake Gibb his entire career until he paired with Taylor. I will be rooting for Jake to finally get his gold and make this amazing story complete.

[@SuperWaterbottle12]

Wow! Thank you guys for putting this video together! This story needs more recognition!

[@tajcalles4774]

Great video guys. Hard not to tear up hearing Taylor's story of finding out him and Jake qualified for Tokyo. Wishing Jake and Tri the best go USA!

[@fibonachos4810]

With Norway struggeling i can't remember an olympic Tournament that seemed more Open to who can win than this one. Probably 70% of the Teams have a case for at least winning a medal. So everything is possible. Maybe you could add some frames in the end for when the KZbin recommendations Pop Up. I couldn't See Jakes face when He Said his position is Taylor Partner. A sentence i absolutely loved.

[@ethanmcdougall3911]

This almost brought me to tears… so happy tri gets his shot 🔥 I will be cheering from kona big island🌈 kona brew represent!!

[@automercadosplaza]

Wow! what a video! Thanks for making it.

Love how you are continuing to grow the game with your amazing stories. Thank you

[@LearnBeachVolleyballFast]

Thanks guys for keeping producing this beautiful work.

[@MikeQOutdoors]

Bra-vo.... Dang, you Hawaiian's are on another level in terms of selflessness and consideration. You had the right words by saying that Taylor dropping out just sets the stage for a movie worthy ending for these Olympics. It's unfortunate it's at the sacrifice of Taylor playing, but he's handling it better than 99.9999% of the world. You're still an Olympian Bug, don't forget it. Jake and Tri, bring home the gold.
