Details of Olympics Beach Volleyball and the Ticket Luck value
Olympics Beach Volleyball
Karch Kiraly the greatest beach volleyball player said, "You talk to any player and if they were told they could only win one tournament in their whole career, everybody would choose it to be here in Manhattan. There's an extra fire among all the players."
Beach volleyball, an exhibition sport at the 1992 Olympics, became an official Olympic event in 1996. Brazil, the US, and Australia are the only countries to have won gold medals to date. In the women's event, each country has won once.
Played on sand, where two teams positioned on either side of a net divide a rectangular court, hitting volleyball with hands or arms. Each team attempts hitting the ball over the net so that it touches the ground inside the court boundaries, and prevent the ball from touching the ground on their own side of the court. Beach volleyball is a popular recreational activity around the world, with most popularity around the wide sandy beaches. Official rules call for two players per team but recreational games often have more players.
Beach volleyball started in Santa Monica, California in the 1920s. A decade later, it appeared in Europe. By the 1940s, doubles tournaments were played on the beaches of Santa Monica. In the 1960s, a professional volleyball league was attempted in Santa Monica which failed, but a professional tournament held in France for 30,000 French Francs. The first Manhattan Beach Open (Southern California) held in 1960 and is considered the "Wimbledon of Beach Volleyball". In the 1970s, a few professional tournaments in Santa Monica were sponsored by beer and cigarette companies.
At the professional level the sport remained fairly obscure until the 1980s when beach volleyball experienced a surge in popularity. This resulted in the development of stars such as Karch Kiraly, Sinjin Smith, Randy Stoklos, Kerri Walsh, and Misty May-Treanor, who are now well known throughout the world.
For decades, Brazil and the United States dominated international beach volleyball. Recently, Australia emerged as a superpower, and all these three nations have well developed national touring systems which hold tournaments during the summers.
Since 1996, beach volleyball has been criticized by the conservative groups as well as from the governments of certain countries, particularly Islamic nations of the Middle East and South-East Asia, who argue that beach volleyball is too sexualized to be considered a truly respectable sport. Professional beach volleyball is one of the few sports with size restrictions on uniforms. Accusations arose that the sport was less respectful than other Olympic events, with comparison to a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue spread rather than pure athleticism.
Some people argued that the attire common in pole vault and other track and field events at the Olympics is barely any more skin covering, and that only beach volleyball is unfairly singled out for criticism. There are also claims that the uniforms are practical for the sport, since more loose clothing would hinder playing ability and professional tournaments often take place during the high heat of summer.
