After a fierce battle for the final spot on the men's side of the London Olympics, it all came down to the final point-qualifying event. This past weekend in Rome, Jake Gibb and Sean Rosenthal advanced to the semi finals solidifying the final spot.

For a fledgling beach volleyball tour in need of attention, the National Volleyball League is content for now to tie its fortunes to bigger events.

Making its first stop of the 2012 season at the Preakness Stakes, the NVL is hoping that fans at the Triple Crown horse race will check out the beach volleyball tournament in the infield and become supporters of the sandy sport. Then it is counting on the Olympics to bring the sport even more attention.
