You thought we were done.  The summer came and went and our 2014 FIVB Beach Volleyball Grand Slam schedule came to a close.  But wait!  Remember the Brazil Grand Slam that got cancelled earlier this year?  You know, the one that got cancelled right around the same time FIVB President Ary Graça conveniently resigned from the CBV for weird financial disclosures.  Well it's back!  When they said they would reschedule the event for later in the year, I thought we'd never see it.  I have been proven wrong, so I'm putting my flip flops and sunglasses back on to bring you more amazing FIVB Beach Volleyball coverage.
