Dopo l’Open maschile del maggio scorso, la Capitale è pronta ad accogliere i più forti giocatori del mondo impegnati nello Swatch FIVB World Tour - Foro Italico Grand Slam 2010.

Un torneo maschile ed uno femminile con un montepremi complessivo di 600mila dollari, una vera e propria parata di stelle per un totale di ben 181 atleti (98 uomini e 83 donne) provenienti da 35 diversi Paesi. Tra i beachers che solcheranno la sabbia del Foro Italico ci saranno campionesse del calibro di Misty-May Treanor, medaglia d’oro a Pechino 2008, la sua compagna Nicole Branagh e le connazionali April Ross e Jennifer Kessy, campionesse del mondo in carica dopo la vittoria dello scorso anno a Stavanger sulle brasiliane Larissa-Juliana.
