FIVB: Beijing Grand Slam (Men and Women)

We are still in China on the 2012 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour.  The Beijing Grand Slam is this week's tournament and for the first time this year, Canada will not have a single team directly entered into the main draw.  Four women's teams and three men's teams will be competing in Beijing with two Canadian men's teams waiting on the reserve list.  For the third time this year we might see a Canadian team eliminate another Canadian team in the tournament.  The last two happened on the women's side of the game with a second round elimination of Lessard-Martin by Broder Valjas in Sanya, China and Lessard-Martin eliminating MacTavish-Rodrigue in the second round of qualification in Brasilia.  In Beijing, if Maverick Hatch and Sam Schachter as well as Josh Binstock and Martin Reader win their first round qualification matches, they will be playing each other in the second round.

As always, teams, results, matches and live streams posted below.

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.
