Anyone else watching the beach volleyball?

It's like an Oakley fest down there!

yea man! i know i was thinking that too! i actually just poster in another thread about that

I was thinking. This time 4 years ago you were seeing M-Frames everywhere you now see Radars. Do you really think the competitors prefer the Radar over the M-Frame or it's just that Oakley pushes them for advertising purposes? I've only seen one person wearing the M-Frame for rowing.

My guess is it's primarily because Oakley's pushing it to them, since they do want to get the latest models on athlete's faces. But I also do believe that a lot of athletes like the Radar as well, so it's their choice to wear it.

I feel it's mainly because they don't want to push the m frame out there, have many people liking it. Then discontinue it. The radar's new. So, they want people buying something current, over something they'll no longer have in the near future.(IMO)

Seen Flaks as well.

What kind of fools are Oakley for not sponsoring May/Walsh in the Olympics?????? Makes NO sense to me...

I'm sure they had eye wear sponsorship before Oakley could get to them...I mean, they won the Sydney Olympics as well.

So, the Italians are wearing O.... But of course.

I hear what you are saying but - May and Walsh are clearly a slam dunk for the gold.

I heard they have to practice against the men - which I don't doubt.

Watching the 8women rowing it looked like one of the girls had a pair of vingate blades.

Anyone catch these articles??

The Ricky Henderson part in the second article is interesting.

Yes, very intersting stuff in the second article.

I think this gives O a bad name. They should played without their glasses instead.

true that !
