“It should be like riding a bicycle through ball bearings. You labor through it,” he said. “Kudos to them, because these athletes are in phenomenal shape. And the sand has set the bar.”Since the sand is usually trucked in, and it is always at the very least cleaned and sifted, the only real reason to put the beach volleyball court on a beach is for atmosphere. And more often than not the Olympic venue has been far from the water.
Athens set up the venue in the coastal town of Faliro, but the sand was brought in from Belgium. In Beijing, the beach volleyball was played in a city park; the original plan was to host it in Tiananmen Square, which was likely to remind international Olympic audiences of a 1989 government massacre of student protesters.
Having the proper sand also matters when it rains, as it did for gold medal matches in both Beijing and Rio. During the preliminary round in Tokyo, a typhoon skirted past the city and drenched the court and the players alike.
Did it destroy beaches in Vietnam? What is the environmental impact?
How far is it from the Statue of Liberty?
Pole vault is not actually done in a vault, the competition is held in a stadium.
It's 11:34pm in Tokyo right now & it's dark as can be with the moon up in the sky. But here in Colorado it's 8:34am with the sun shining bright up in the sky. And this can't happen on a flat circled earth, this can only happen if a sphere shaped earth is spinning around & around!
