Every-time Walsh hits it’s 99% side out she’s beast!

[@kazisabrin7041]

one of the shortest matches i have ever seen

[@valentinag3770]

Look at when they dig for a ball they go up right away. When I do that I stay there crying in pain for days😂😂

[@mattkorando1432]

At 11:19 that was not needed bro

[@emmagesser3350]

I agree. I think she took her hands away at the last second. So I think they were zooming into her hand signally things (I don’t play vball) but she moved

[@jc56595]

Stop at 11:20 omg

[@faithsanimals9299]

David Shreeves I agree

[@jetemen397]

The sportsmanship 💕

[@Minoltalphafan]

Game plan: Serve to May so she gets the set to spike it instead of Walsh. How's that workin' for ya?

[@richardl.5054]

Feel a little bad for the Netherlands. Like the commentator says early on, they did not play badly, they just ran up against one of the best beach vb duos in the sport's history. If you get past Kerri at the net, then you have Misty in the backcourt. Look at everything that she does as the shortest player on the court (5'9") in the rally @ 21:49.

[@nohemipino3303]

I hate the fact that people comment about the girls bodies. Go watch men's beach volleyball. No one is commenting about their body. Why is it different for girls? If you click on this video you should be watching for the volleyball and not the butts. As a fellow volleyball player, I am offended. I might be a little biased because I play and because my coach coached Misty May as a teenager but these girls are amazing players and deserve better.

[@343298918]

People watch sport for different reasons. Some watch the amazing skills, some watch the good looking players. I have female friends who watch football and beach volleyball because of the good looking guys. There is nothing wrong to watch beach volleyball for players' asses.

[@rickwyant]

Because they're beautiful to look at

[@darrylw9017]

They are great athletes and look fantastic being great athletes. Win-win.

[@bigsweets4855]

Oh man this takes me back. 😆

[@amandaestrada7328]

[@alexanderkahl2452]

We have to win this game.

[@ttimber9742]

so, where is round 2 of the woman's beach volleyball final for 2016?

[@jasonrhind3934]

Who chose the music to this at the Olympics? They're playing "fat bottom girls?"

[@opinionatorX]

Really??? @11:20

[@johnta17]

GOATs

[@ahmedmujtabasumra8710]

Can ordinary volleyball player can play on beach?

[@erikaInDR]

Ahmed Mujtaba Sumra Its not the same game. Your speed and jumping is restricted in sand. You MUST have ball control to be able to pass the ball to your partner...sand volleyball is for those who have mastered indoor volleyball.

[@mariexiong9892]

Beach vball is SO hard!!!!!! I only play indoor vball and I thought it was the same thing, but I struggled so much. Even my friend who is very good compared to me struggled on the sand. You have to be very agile - moving quickly while sinking in the sand is def an extreme sport itself lol

[@ajollypanda4175]

@@erikaInDR Never indirectly discourage someone from playing beach...if you learn to drive stick-shift then automatic is a breeze...if you learn outdoor then indoor will be much easier; you can master indoor and still have trouble adjusting to beach.

[@aaliyah2637]

Why don't they sometimes try and go for the ball when it's out of their reach?

[@davidhopkins917]

Because they are anticipating the ball going somewhere else. It happens often when you're trying to guess on defense.

[@emmadelacruz1130]

too much of a waste of energy just to get it over

[@caligulaos8741]

lol
