    The only reason beach volleyball exists as an Olympic sport, separate to 'normal' volleyball, is for the skimpy beach outfits. It's a farce, IMO.



    I'm not sure why beach volleyball athletes are objectified so much more than the others. Aren't most athletics outfits skimpy now?

    That's not actually true at all.

    Beach volleyball requires a very different center of gravity playstyle, as it's harder to move around on sand. Much harder than a gym floor.

    I remember playing it in Brisbane with friends and being amazed at how much harder it was than I thought.

    Ditto, there's something really beautiful about a strong, athletic body.

    +1 I love muscly, female body types. I am just in awe of the all the female athletes in the Olympics.
