Well, I'm a little disappointed to read this, but several of the top womens teams won't be competing this weekend because they're in Russia. What a bummer. Unless Misty and Kerri have a bad day, I suspect they'll just beat the crap out of their competition.

Also a bummer, Karch Kiraly is injured and won't play. I guess there's no excuse for me on that one, since the guy has been playing for decades now before he decided to retire this year.

Oh well, it'll be sunny and there will be a lot of players with Olympic hardware to watch. Even though I still think the indoor game is where it's at, I really look forward to seeing pro beach in person!
