Sand does a lot more for volleyball players than offering a soft place to land.
"Beautiful white sand, soft and warm", a journalist said when he touched the sand in the Beach Volleyball Venue.
"The sand is soft and comfortable, and good to exert my performance in the competition , said Xu Cheng, a volleyball player from China.
The 8,000 tons of sand in the Asian Games volleyball venue comes from coastal Maoming in Guangdong Province, according to the organizing committee. The Beach Volleyball competition started on the morning of November 15, and runs until November 24 with two gold medals at stake.
