FIVB's partnership with SWATCH, the new title sponsor and the world's leading makers of tim- ing devices, brings with it fabulous new technical innovations (SWATCH electronic score- boards and measurement of speed of service) and the freshness of a relationship formed to joint- ly promote what has become the summer sport of choice in many countries. This year top players will have the chance to prove they are truly great by cracking the four-leg Grand Slam, as well as to contest the title of titles - the World Championship on the world's most famous beach - Copacabana, Brazil. In addition, in another unique action, FIVB joins forces with Ecoflag, a program of Global Sports Alliance and UNEP, the United Nations Environmental Program, designed to raise environmen- tal awareness through eco-friendly sports practices, a program that has the personal support of FIVB President Dr. Rubén Acosta. This year, the Tour goes to Europe, Asia, North and South America and event organizers are overwhelmed with teams who wish to compete on the elite circuit. The FIVB now hosts two annual Junior World Championships (U-21 and U-18) to nurture the next generation of Beach stars, a process enhanced by national tours popping up in countries all over the world. 5 World Championship returns to its spiritual home A Grand Slam of an idea The month was October, the year 1986, the place Prague and Just when you thought the SWATCH FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour was the FIVB Congress made a decision to launch the inaugural enough to whet the appetite the introduction of a new four-leg Grand Slam international Beach Volleyball competition, the World this year promises to inject further spice having opened the possibility for a Championship, to kick start what has evolved into a global team to claim "The Grand Slam". sporting extravaganza.

Observou-se pouco a pouco a visibilidade do Vôlei de Praia e a adesão do povo carioca, despertando para o prazer e a sociabilidade de um jogo coletivo. Aos registros dos depoimentos de pioneiros do jogo recolhidos por Lenice Peluso, foram agregados materiais colhidos na internet, jornais da época e relatos de antigos jogadores, possibilitando maior abrangência do tema. Concluiu-se que o Vôlei de Praia, jogado exclusivamente como lazer até a sua institucionalização, instituiu sua identidade cultural na cidade do Rio de Janeiro satisfazendo o gosto dos jogadores e do público por paisagens, espaços livres e abertos, que transmitem momentos e sensações de bem-estar, amplitude e plenitude, contribuindo para a esportivização da praia.

Sandra Bellas de Romariz* Fabiano Pries Devide** Sebastião Votre*** Resumo: O livro Atleta, substantivo feminino: As mulheres brasileiras nos jogos olímpicos, publicado em 2006 por Oscar Valporto, reúne contos das histórias de vida de vinte atletas olímpicas brasileiras construídas a partir de relatos pessoais que descrevem as suas trajetórias desde sua pri- meira participação, em 1932, nos Jogos Olímpicos de Los Angeles, até a conquista da tão sonhada primeira medalha olímpica, em Atlanta, 1996. Os contos da obra relatam as carreiras esportivas, ressaltando as barreiras sociais trans- postas por cada uma dessas atletas pioneiras. O livro se divide em quatro partes: inicia com as trajetórias das pio- neiras do esporte nas modalidades natação e atletismo e finaliza com as atletas da primeira geração que conquistou medalhas olímpicas. As mulheres referenciadas como pio- neiras são: Maria Lenk e Mary Dalva – natação; Wanda e Aída dos Santos – atletismo. O autor segue destacando as atletas olímpicas Maria Elisa (natação), Isabel (vôlei); Luisa Parente (ginástica olímpica) e Soraia (judô). O livro ain- da retrata as rainhas da areia: Jackie, Mônica, Adriana, Sandra, Adriana Behar e Shelda; e se encerra com as mu- lheres que conquistaram as medalhas nos esportes coleti- vos: Paula e Janeth (basquete), Leila e Virna (vôlei de qua- dra) e Pretinha e Marta (futebol de campo). A obra está direcionada aos amantes do esporte nacional e da histó- ria, e, ainda que não apresente um texto no formato aca- dêmico, tem seu mérito por ser pioneira em resgatar tais trajetórias, oferecendo aos profissionais de educação físi- ca a possibilidade de realizar debates relevantes sobre as questões de gênero na escola.
