Ruby Sorra and Molly McBain are now playing in an FIVB "Elite" (highest level) tournament in Rio de Janeiro.
They won a qualification match yesterday to get into the main draw. They started their first pool match yesterday, and lost the first set. But high winds forced a stop to all matches (the television tower/scaffolding blew over). Play was postponed until today, so the matches were restarted from the beginning, and Sorra/McBain beat a Brazilian team 2-0. They play again later today against the Americans Kraft/Cheng, wit a third pool match tomorrow.
Xolani Hodel and Hailey Harward also qualified. but dropped their first match to the #1 seed (Carol/Rebecca, Brazil).
