There isn't much wonder why women's beach volleyball has taken off as an Olympic sport. As a sport itself, it is the ultimate teamwork event where two women work together as one for a common goal.

May-Treanor, Walsh Grab Gold, China Grabs Something Else [Beijing Olympics] —
Deadspin
She's already got Dubya's handprints all over her ass, so Kerri Walsh hardly notices this, one would assume.

Jason Kidd is recently single, so there’s plenty of speculation abounding re: who he’s creeping on at the Olympics. Misty May is not single. In fact, she’s married to Matt Treanor, Florida Marlins catcher, who is hanging out in Beij … oh, right, he’s in America playing baseball.
Good thing Misty’s not obsessed with J-Kidd then, right? Because if she was ...

Surprisingly, Beach Volleyball Does Not Have Great Announcers —
One More Dying Quail
My wife was watching the Olympics when I got home tonight, and even though she went to bed an hour ago, the channel hasn't changed, which means I've been watching the Women's Beach Volleyball gold medal match for the past twenty minutes or so. Words can't express my disappointment that the Chinese team of Xue Chen and Zhang Xi didn't make the final - I was looking forward to watching them ...

sort of related to law and public policy. 1) This week, I watched the women's beach volleyball (a sport I actually have enjoyed watching) match between USA's Misty May-Treanor and Kerry Walsh (they of the frolicking with W while Russia invaded Georgia) and a team from Cuba. The match was a blowout and no one expected it to be close, so the announcers naturally had to find other stuff to talk ...
