Visa FIVB Beach Volleyball International
The Visa FIVB Beach Volleyball International was a women's beach volleyball tournament held at Horse Guards Parade, London, between 9 and 14 August 2011. It was the beach volleyball test event for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games and was part of the London Prepares series. The tournament, run as an exhibition, was won by the Brazilian pair Maestrini and Vieira. 2,274 tonnes of sand was transported to the parade ground for the event. After the tournament the sand went to several locations within London to fulfill a legacy promise. The stadium had a capacity of 1,500 spectators. Play was affected by the 2011 England riots.
==Tournament==
The tournament featured 24 teams from around the world. It was jointly staged by the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) and the British Volleyball Federation. The event took place at Horse Guards Parade between 9 and 14 August 2011. The event saw 54 matches played but, although prize money was available, no ranking points were on offer, as it was classified as an intercontinental exhibition. Teams who were eligible to take part in the European Championships Final were not allowed to participate. A total of 2,274 tonnes of Redhill 28 sand was delivered from a quarry in Godstone, Surrey,〔 to create one competition court and two practice courts. The main stadium had a capacity of 1,500, ten times fewer than the 15,000 capacity of the planned Olympic venue itself.〔Olympic Countdown, 2011. (programme ) BBC, BBC2, 21 August 13.00.〕
Participants included world number one team and 2009 world champions Jennifer Kessy and April Ross, Sydney Olympic champion Natalie Cook, and Beijing and 2011 World Championship bronze medalists Zhang Xi and Xue Chen.〔 Six teams from Commonwealth countries were also invited as the London 2012 Organising Committee (LOCOG) and the FIVB wanted to demonstrate their support for beach volleyball becoming a sport at the Commonwealth Games.
