Catch the fashion disaster that was Australia yesterday? Sports bra/bikini over their shirts. The Americans actually looked classy with their long sleeve tees.

Horseshit

When one player is up for a block, the other player supposedly
is defending the entire rest of the court.... Yeah sure.

I've played 2 on 2 volleyball, although grass not sand. With 2 big aggressive players at the net, the other guy and I did a pretty good job of covering our backfields... and I'm a far from an athlete as possible.

Even a high school kid could dink and spike to un-defended areas all day long,
and these "athletes in bikinis" could not defend against it.

Then why don't these "high school kids" do that? you know, free trip to the Olympics and all.

If this "sport" had not started in the US, it would have never made it to the Olympics.
I think the dog and pony show going on around them is
what it's really all about... women in bikinis playing in the sand !

You've made some pretty serious accusations here, which you have absolutely no proof of.
Apparently you can't take your eyes of the jiggly bits long enough to watch the play, but feel free to denigrate real athletes competing at Olympic level.
Sad.

I find that I get very frustrated with judged competitions of any kind.

I think they save good scores for the end in gymnastics, and figure skating.

I only really enjoy the sports where time or distance or score .. actual metrics... are the only judges.

I'd be all for that game, Zip. But I'd have to Anglicise it (track and qwop?! shotput derp?!)
I'll work on it and let you know.

Jim - does that include boxing?

ETA have looked up track & qwop & shotput derp now

Still have to amend the drinking game to cut out things like adverts though!
