He had retired from the volleyball team eight years earlier, then won his beach gold aged 35 - if that's the only case of players who were top in both sports, I'm not sure it's a very convincing one.
You are very prejudiced :P

I liked playing both as intermural rec sports my freshman year at UT. *shrug*

I'm sure beach volleyball can be fun to play, but that isn't exactly the criterium for making something an Olympic sport - it's the "fun to watch" criterium that's rather more decisive here, one suspects.
