Randy Stoklos "King of Rio"

Today In Rio

Available for over a year

One of the people who campaigned to turn Beach Volleyball into an Olympic sport is the five times world champion, Randy Stoklos. His partner Sinjin Smith and him became known as the "Kings of the Beach" during the 1980s and 90s. He's back in Rio to play in a Legends match and he told the BBC's Ben James in Rio about some of the tricks in good communication during the noisy matches, including those all important hand signals, and how the game has changed over the years.
