I heard a lot of talk on the radio over the last few days on the above Olympic event. Scantly clad sweaty women (or men, if you're into that ;) ) rolling around in the sand on the beach sounds like a good spectators event :D

Apparently, when the mens event is on, there's about 5,000 people in attendance, but when the women are playing, it rises up to (literally :p ) 15,000.

So has anyone tuned into this great sporting event? What teams are the best (looking), and who's your favourite team?

I haven't seen it yet myself, but I checked out the schedule at the official Olympics site (http://www.olympics.com) (but check out the Volleyball section (http://www.olympics.com/eng/venues/BVO/index.html?/eng/venues/BVO/home.html)), and the schedule is :
