The Americans look horrendous to start (Beach VB)

[Furmanski]

Phil and Todd look so nervous right now. Need to calm down and play. :smoker2:

Todd is so nasty. Glad to see the guys loosen up and play.

 

[Furmanski]

Hell yes! What a first set.

One more for the gold.

 

[Furmanski]

3rd set for all the marbles.

This is one hell of a match. Really hope the Americans can pull it out.

What is the format of the volleyball matches, because I thought
I saw the US already lose to a Brazilian team?

Holy shit. Dalhauser is a fucking beast. What was that, four straight blocks?

There were 2 US teams. Phil and Todd were the #1 team, Gibb and Rosey were #2 and lost to the Brazilians in the quarters.

Beach VB was 6 pool groups of 4 teams. Top 2 teams automatically advanced to the final 16 (12 teams). Then the next best 2 automatically qualified, then 2 more based on a "lucky loser" format of the remaining 3rd place teams. (Confusing, I know).

Then it was a 16-team single elimination playoff.


Game. Set. Match. Brazilians are toast. :aktion033

Phil is the first person I know personally to win a gold medal.

US in the qtrs.

Congrats USA winning the gold!!
