Elaine Youngs is back for her third Olympics, a volleyball career that takes her from the U.S. indoor team in Atlanta to the sands of the beach volleyball venue in Beijing.
And she can hardly believe what she's seeing.
"I've been through the bankruptcy of the '90s, and all that. To come from where we were to now, it's amazing," she said Thursday. "The NBC television package, the great sponsors, the prize money. The sport has grown hugely. We're the hottest ticket in the Olympics."
