Erotic Volleyball?

Erotic Volleyball?

Ah, the Olympics through the eyes of the British Press. Two paragraphs from a weekend sports story in the The Telegraph that might well have been headed "What is this funny sport called beach volleyball?"
Beach volleyball remains a much misunderstood sport. To the general public, the male game is associated with the homoerotic scene between Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer in Top Gun.

The female game - given that it pretty much perforce involves suntanned skin, young women in swimsuits, and jumping up and down - is all too easily imagined as a more vertically bouncy version of the credit sequences of Baywatch.
