It's only worth watching if Logan Tom is playing. She's also on the indoor team.

I gave up watching when they showed the shower cam after the platform diving. There is no sporting purpose to watch the girls (or men) shower after getting out of the pool.

ugh ...........the bike is locked.

Totally with you on the enough already on beach volleyball...

For the lucky few with real TiVo in your household, i think you are pretty much in command of what you want to watch, when you want to watch, with no commercial to boot. Best of it all, that "slow motion" button is your best friend when watching diving or even beach volleyball .

With all the coverage on NBC, USA, Universal HD, CNBC, MSNBC, Oxygen, Univision, Olympics Soccer (new for Olympics only), Olympics Basketball (also new for Olympics only), I gtt them all on my TiVos so I can watch 80 hours of commercial-filled Olympics in about 5 hours commercial free, picking and choosing the stuff I want to watch. So, yes, even Kayaking and rowing and badminton.

me thinks she's on the indoor team ONLY

BTW, indoor vball and beach vball are two completely different animals. the only things they share in common are they are both played with a ball and a net in the middle. that's about it.

True, she's not on the Olympic beach team, but she does compete. I find indoor way more exciting to watch. The rallies on the sand are way too short.

I gotta admit, if beach volleyball consisted of a single game (rather than the 2-3 game match) I'd be way more tolerant of it. Something about "Yay, we won...now we have to do it all over again" really takes the enjoyment out of it for me.

Thus far I have failed to see (from the pictures) what is wrong with women's beach volleyball.

I wholly agree. It and synchronized swimming are making me an unhappy viewer. But then again, w/o beach volleyball, NBC wouldn't have this URL: https://www.nbcolympics.com/beachvoll...id=122861.html

This is by far my favorite thread ever.

It's interesting watching with my wife. I make sure to throw in the occasional "did you see that spike, they're killing 'em" or "c'mon Walsh, you can't miss that block" just to show that I'm in it for the sporting aspects

Rachel, Rachel, wherefore art thou Rachel

I feel exactly the same way about this as you do. Wait a minute, maybe we have synchronized minds.

You must have an interesting taste in men.

voltman

Not a tennis fan either?

Kind of looks like your butt. Without the hair.

like the hot chick that is my wife?

if you're going to flame, come up with something clever so everyone can be entertained

melkman

i didn't see the hand signals they were talking about?

erliuic

I try not to mention them by name - maintaining that little bit of disinterest is crucial

Flash

Dagger! she's onto me and here I thought I was being slick. Ok, no more names.

dcbikeguy

Wow, pictures of scantily clad women on the internet. Now I've seen everything.

heckler

that is the idea only your teamate should see.

Honestly, the entire Summer Olympics could consist of beach volleyball, cycling and the 100m dash, and I'd be perfectly happy.

I can't believe you guys are complaining. The matches only take about 30-40 min and the women are great athletes. Today's game against Belgium was really exciting in the first set. Carrie & Misty are fun to watch, they are great representatives of the US, and (of course) they're hot.
