Norway's Olympic beach volleyball champion Anders Mol underwent surgery after suffering a broken bone in his lower leg and will be sidelined for several weeks, affecting his preparations for the Paris Games, he said on Friday.

The 26-year-old, who won gold in the men's beach volleyball along with team mate Christian Sorum in Tokyo in 2021, told Norwegian public broadcaster NRK that he suffered the fracture at a training camp in Tenerife earlier in the week.
