I don't get this... did the V-Ball teams bring their own cheerleaders? If it is organised by the locals, why are those not Chinese?

As if beach volleyball wasn't already the best sport at the olympics. This puts it over the top!

I refused to install the player for a while too, but finally gave in. Now I can see a lot more of the events that I can't get on tv.

They have the same stuff at the basketball games.

This was organized by the Chinese.

There are a few different cheerleader teams for volleyball, one is half Chinese and half spanish (read about it somewhere). The others are all Chinese. The reason they don't have only Chinese is probably because they are very new to this whole cheerleader thing.

I agree, they should show more of this on the TV. :)

If you notice they play the same arena music they do at american sports venues between points, these are the people that dance off camera to those just like at a AAA baseball game
