F I V B  FEDERATION INTERNATIONALE DE VOLLEYBALL
PRESS RELEASE 29.07.2007

AMERICANS SWEEP SWATCH-FIVB WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP GOLD MEDALS

Gstaad, Switzerland, July 29, 2007 - The only thing that Todd Rogers
mishandled here Sunday was the opening of a champagne bottle after he and
Phil Dalhausser won the men’s finale to give the United States a sweep of
the gold medals this weekend at the 2007 SWATCH-FIVB World Championships
powered by 1to1 energy.

After eliminating reigning Olympic champions Emanuel Rego and Ricardo Santos
of Brazil in the morning’s first semi-final match, Dalhausser and Rogers
joined compatriots Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh as USA gold medal
winners this weekend by defeating Dmitri Barsouk and Igor Kolodinsky of
Russia 21-16 and 21-14 in the 45-minute finale.

In addition to sharing the US$60,000 first-place prize in the $1-million
“Beach Volleyball Bash” in the Swiss Alps, Dalhausser and Rogers will
benefit from the 1,000 points towards qualifying for the Beijing 2008
Olympics.  A tandem’s best eight finishes on the SWATCH-FIVB World Tour
through July 20, 2008 will count towards qualifying for the 24-team field.

“This weekend was about Beach Volleyball, but not just about Beach
Volleyball,” said the 33-year Rogers, who was named the SWATCH most
outstanding player for the SWATCH-FIVB World Championships.  “For me, these
experiences are what I will remember.  It not only is the competition, but
it is about the fans in the stands, the beautiful surroundings and the
overall atmosphere of good feelings generated this weekend.”

Rogers also added, that his partner “was the real outstanding player for the
event.  I bet Phil that he would be the SWATCH top player for the event
since this was a homecoming for him and his family.  I share this award with
him as he is becoming one of the great players in the world.  I am lucky to
have him as a partner.”

Sunday’s title was the second SWATCH gold medal for the Americans, who won
for the first time on the FIVB tour last August in Austria where Dalhausser
and Rogers defeated Emanuel and Ricardo for the title.  The next stop on the
international circuit is next week in Austria where Dalhausser and Rogers
will be defending their Klagenfurt title as the reigning SWATCH-FIVB World
Champions.

“It is a tremendous feeling to win this title in front of my parents and
relatives,” said the 27-year old Dalhausser, who lived a year in Switzerland
before moving to the United States with his Swiss mother and German father.
“We played two quality opponents today.  Except for the second set against
the Brazilians, we had a great day.”

Rogers and Dalhausser advanced to the gold medal match by posting a 21-16,
13-21 and 19-17 win in 68 minutes over Emanuel and Ricardo, who captured the
2003 SWATCH-FIVB World Championships in Rio de Janeiro before claiming
Olympic gold the next year in Athens.

Barsouk and Kolodinsky, who shared $45,000 for second-place as the first
Russian men’s or women’s team to play in a SWATCH-FIVB World Tour gold medal
match in the 20-plus-year history of the International circuit, advanced to
the title match with a 21-13 and 21-19 win in 45 minutes over Andrew Schacht
and Joshua Slack of Australia.

In the bronze medal match, Schacht and Slack ended Brazil’s run of men’s
medals at the SWATCH-FIVB World Championships as the Australians upset
Emanuel and Ricardo 21-17 and 21-19 win in 42 minutes to capture the $35,000
third-place prize.  The Brazilians split $28,000 for fourth-place.

The eighth of 13 double gender stops on the 2007 SWATCH-FIVB World Tour, the
women’s 2007 SWATCH-FIVB World Championships ended Saturday with reigning
Olympic champions May-Treanor and Walsh defeating Jia Tian and Jie Wang of
China 21-16 and 21-10 for their third-straight world title.

The AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour's is live on NBC from Coney Island
on Saturday August 19th and Sunday August 20th at 4:30pm (ET).

August 15, 2006 -- The AVP Brooklyn Open Presented by Cushman &
Wakefield will be broadcast live on NBC on Saturday August 19th and
Sunday August 20th at 4:30pm (ET). Catch both the Men and Women as they
battle for big prize money at the AVP Crocs Tour's debut in the state
of New York.

The rivalry on the sand between the top two men's teams has heated up
as top-seeded Mike Lambert and Stein Metzger and second-seeded Phil
Dalhausser and Todd Rogers have met in the finals of the previous two
AVP finals. In Chicago, Lambert and Metzger swept Dalhausser and Rogers
21-16, 21-18. While Dalhausser and Rogers exacted their revenge this
past Sunday at the Historic Manhattan Beach Open defeating Lambert and
Metzger 22-20, 21-23, 15-11. Combined, these two teams have won nine of
the eleven 2006 AVP Crocs Tour events.

In the race for the Crocs Cup, awarded to the best men's and
women's team at the conclusion of the AVP Crocs Tour, just 20 points
separate Lambert/Metzger and Dalhausser/Rogers. With increased points
available in network events, both teams will bring their best game to
Coney Island. Tune in to the Men's final live on NBC on Saturday,
August 19 at 4:30pm (ET).

The path to the women's championship will be different in Coney
Island as partner switches have continued. Elaine Youngs and Nancy
Mason, fresh off their second place finish at the Manhattan Beach Open
last Saturday, will line up next to new partners. Youngs will team with
Nicole Branagh, the 2005 AVP Rookie of the Year, while Mason will
partner with AVP Star Tyra Turner. Branagh's former partner and
career victories leader Holly McPeak will partner with two-time indoor
Olympian Logan Tom.

The one constant on the women's side has been the dominant play of
2004 Olympic Gold Medalist Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh.
May-Treanor and Walsh, the number one team in the world, have won nine
of the eleven AVP Crocs Tour events this year, including a victory last
weekend in the AVP Manhattan Beach Open. In New York, the duo will look
to win their tenth event of the year, which would set the record for
most regular season wins by a women's team. May-Treanor and Walsh won
nine regular season events in 2005. Tune in to the Women's final live
on NBC on Sunday, August 20 at 4:30pm (ET) to see if May-Treanor and
Walsh can set the record.

Other AVP stars heating up the beach will be 2000 Olympic Gold
Medalists Dain Blanton and Eric Fonoimoana, three-time Olympic Gold
Medal winner Karch Kiraly, and 2005 AVP Best Defensive Player Rachel
Wacholder.

Do not miss the hottest action of beach LIVE on NBC Saturday August
19th and Sunday August 20th at 4:30pm (ET).

The competition is sure to be fierce and you do not want to miss a
single serve, dig or spike.

year for the 45th time  is the longest running event in beach
volleyball history and the premier tournament in the nation since the
1960s. Every year, the winners of the Manhattan Beach Open have their
names engraved on the Manhattan Beach pier.

Considering its historical appeal, Manhattan Beach is the perfect place
to welcome back beach volleyball legend and winningest male player in
history, Karch Kiraly. Kiraly, who has been out since the AVP Crocs
Tour stop in Sacramento in mid-June, will compete for his ninth
Manhattan Beach Open title this weekend.

Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh enter Manhattan Beach as the top-seed
on the women's side. May-Treanor and Walsh and have won eight of the 10
AVP tournaments they've entered this season, finishing second in the
other two. Elaine Youngs and Rachel Wacholder, the winners in the other
two events this year, decided to part ways as partners prior to the
Manhattan Beach Open. Youngs will compete with Nancy Mason and
Wacholder will play with Jen Boss.

On the men's side, Mike Lambert and Stein Meztger will look to follow
their win at the last stop on the AVP Crocs Tour in Chicago with
another win in Manhattan Beach. The duo has won three events this
season. Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers will look for their sixth win
of the season in Manhattan Beach. The duo has been dominant on the Tour
this year and a win in Manhattan Beach will mark the first time a men's
team has won six AVP events in one season since Karch Kiraly and Adam
Johnson in 1998.

The main draw of the AVP Manhattan Beach Open presented by Bud Light
begins Friday, August 11 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. On Saturday, August 12,
the action continues from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. with the women's final at
1:30 p.m. The remaining men's main draw games will be played from 9:15
a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, August 13, and the men's final will begin at
1:30 p.m.

General admission to the tournament is free. Television coverage of the
women's final will air LIVE on NBC on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. ET and the
men's final will air LIVE on NBC on Sunday at 4:30 p.m. ET.
