Olimpiadi
Beach volley, Diaz/Alayo non si fermano più! Battuti anche George/Andrè
Fanno sul serio i cubani Diaz/Alayo che portano a casa un altro scalpo nobile, quello della coppia brasiliana George/Andrè che viene travolta con un secco 2-0 (21-13, 21-18) dalla furia cubana che promette di poter diventare un fattore in questo torneo che per il momento offre pochi sussulti ma buoni. Faticano più del previsto gli statunitensi Partain/Benesh ad avere ragione dei rivali marocchini Abicha/Elgraoui che trascinano i più titolati rivali ai vantaggi nel secondo set prima di arrendersi (28-26).
Debutto vincente per Bryl/Losiak, 2-0 (21-16, 21-16) agli australiani Hodges/Schubert e per i tedeschi Ehlers/Wickler che si sbarazzano in due set dei padroni di casa Bassereau/Lyneel. Primo successo per gli spagnoli Herrera/Gavira che si impongono con un sofferto 2-1 (23-21, 21-23, 15-8) sui francesi Krou/Gauthier-Rat e vittoria nello stesso girone anche per gli olandesi Boermans/de Groot contro gli statunitensi Evans/Budinger 2-0 (21-13, 21-15).
In campo femminile, oltre al facile successo 2-0 di Menegatti/Gottardi sulle egiziane Marwa/Elghobashy, nello stesso girone c’è stato il facile successo 2-0 (21-12, 21-13) di Ana Patricia/Duda sulle spagnole Liliana/Paula. Nella pool E Carol/Barbara hanno superato Paulikiene/Raupelyte 2-0 (21-13, 21-14) e le olandesi Stam/Schoon hanno superato le giapponesi Akiko/Ishii.
