and here's your answer JT

The libero is, generally, the most skilled defensive player on the team. Introduced in 1998


The libero is a player specialized in defensive skills: the libero must wear a contrasting jersey color from his or her teammates and cannot block or attack the ball when it is entirely above net height. When the ball is not in play, the libero can replace any back-row player, without prior notice to the officials. This replacement does not count against the substitution limit each team is allowed per set, although the libero may be replaced only by the player whom they replaced. The libero may function as a setter only under certain restrictions. If she/he makes an overhand set, she/he must be standing behind (and not stepping on) the 3-meter line; otherwise, the ball cannot be attacked above the net in front of the 3-meter line. An underhand pass is allowed from any part of the court.

I saw the women's game of China vs Cuba last night. It was a great match - China were up 2 sets to love and had 7 match points yet Cuba came back to win in 5! So good that I preferred this on SBS to the Aussie mens beach volleyball pair playing Brazil (a game that was clearly interupting the commercials and cross-promotions on Channel 7! )

to think of what happened at the start of these games for the coach of the U.S.A. (a New Zealander). the U.S.A. mens team have gone on to win GOLD against BRAZIL

U.S.....20...25...25...25
Brazil..25...22...21...23

great match
