Line in sand as Georgians win battle of bikinis

A LINE may have been drawn in the sand in South Ossetia, but on the Olympic beach volleyball court yesterday, attack hits and accusations continued to fly.

Hours after their nations had declared an uneasy truce in the disputed border region, Russia and Georgia fought a battle in bikinis in Chaoyang Park.

Georgia triumphed, rallying from the brink of elimination to score a victory which will keep them in the competition, and send the Russians home.
