Origin of the Beach Volleyball

It took over 60 years for the beach volleyball game to emerge from obscurity to the international spotlight. The first two-man beach volleyball in California in 1930 attracted little public interest. The game was granted Olympic medal status in 1993 and had its first official overall participation in the 1996 Summer Olympics. Without the support of international sponsors beginning in the 1970s, the game wouldn’t have achieved such worldwide recognition.

沙灘排球的起源

沙灘排球這項運動從出現時的鮮為人知到成為國際焦點歷時60余載。1930年美國加州的首場兩人沙灘排球賽并沒有引起公眾的關注。1993年這項運動正式成為奧運比賽項目。在1996年的夏季奧運會，各國代表團首次廣泛參與了這項比賽。如果沒有自20世紀70年代以來國際贊助機構的支持，這項運動是不可能得到全世界的廣泛認可的。
