Vote on who you think will qualify for London 2012 Beach Volleyball

The count down for 2012 Beach Volleyball began in earnest at the start of this year. Having witnessed a few Olympic battles for qualification seeing it being played out for our home turf is exciting.

Two years ago the race might have seemed a done deal but it's anyone who wants it! Although there are early leaders the good result to leap frog into contention is never more than a top 9/7/5 position away.

Who will we see on horse guards parade?

Less than a year to go ....

London 2012 beach volleyball FIVB Olympic rankings

Find the names of
Dampney and Mullin with the Olympic rings beside their name http://www.fivb.org/EN/BeachVolleyball/Competitions/WorldTour/2011/OlympicRanking_W.asp only 5 names above them you could almost remove the H beside their name and they will have qualified for the beach volleyball Olympics in their own right.

Mo Glover and I have known all along since starting to coach them as juniors in 2001 through to the BVF programme that the athletes had the potential to be world class. Now yet again with a 17th in Norway at a Grand Slam to add they are showing their capabilities on the world stage.

Professionals showing what can be achieved through determination and hard work.

The best of luck to secure that spot in your own right, not just because we are hosting the olympics, in doing so it truly says that despite all the odds yet again Britain with the right athletes can hold it's own.

Matthew Pinsett we are waiting for an apology?
