Olympic Beach volleyball
I am not sure what I thought when I saw the beach volleyball field on TV during the Olympics, but I don't think it was that they had brought a beach in to an arena....guess that makes perfect sense!
surprenant de voir du Beach Volley dans une arène fermée. Mais où se trouve le soleil ;o) amazing to see from Beach Volley in a closed arena. But where is the sun ;o)
And I kind of find it silly since you can't really recreate the iffy conditions of a beach tournament — how deep the dry sand is on top of the wet sand, the sun, the wind… But my husband really enjoys watching the 'babes.' ;D

I didn't know that either! Great shot, really showing how it was in the stadium. Well a special stadium just for the volleyball, it seems.
ReplyDeleteCool photo. But really, this begs the question, WHY is beach volleyball an Olympic sport?
ReplyDeleteI thought the same. I also ask the same as DC - Why?
