Beach Volleyball is really popular

I read somewhere – sorry, I can’t remember where – Kerri Walsh Jennings, the USA gold medallist explaining about the lure of beach volleyball. “Sometimes it’s just the beer and bikinis that get people to come and watch, but it’s the competition that’s keeping them there”. And it is so true. At least for me!

Beach volleyball became an Olympic sport at Atlanta and has in the intervening years become famous for both its athleticism and its swimwear. For those interested in the latter, the female players wear a costume best described by most women as “you have got to be joking”! Check out some of the photos from the London Olympics:
