I thought the qualification was to be a super fit female wearing very little.

And Stevens falls back on his usual level of comments about females...

No need for anyone to get in a flap

I mean, who would want to watch me and three mates enter as a beach volleyball team if there isn't a UK side, just because we could afford the plane fare?

Oh i don`t know, reckon wor lass would especially if you`re wearing tight Speedos

Not quite. He is right in some respects:


http://www.fivb.org/EN/BeachVolleyB...WATH2004/2004 Specific Events Regulations.pdf

Open pages 41 and 43 and see the 'uniforms' that are specified.

Curious that the women's outfit is skimpy and the men's is less so.

Maybe the rules have changed recently but it shows sexism and chauvanism rule in some sports.

There's a very good article here.

It would take more than that, I'm afraid. Does the lady carry a white stick?
