It's time for the first Grand Slam event of the 2012 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour. Shanghai is a dual gender grand slam taking place this week and one of the many that is on the schedule before this year's Olympics in London. There are six Canadian teams participating in Shanghai, three men's and three women's. All the teams except one will be in the Qualification round that starts today. Elizabeth Maloney and Heather Bansley have enough entry points to get a direct entry into the main draw and will begin their competition later in the week. As always, results, live streams and matches will be posted below.
