The 2008 Olympics held in china are over and we must say that the opening and closing ceremonies were spectacular. We saw many great feats such as Michael Phelps 8 gold medals and world records and Usain Bolt’s 9.69 world record time in the100 metres. Are these guys are human?, And we can’t forget Spain’s silver medal win in basketball making the Americans sweat a little. From here at La Playa San Juan we want to  congratulate to all of them and thank them for the pride they have given our country.

There were also those moments we would like to forget such as the kick that the Cuban Angel Mato the athlete which was involved in the discipline of Taekwondo, and was disqualified and banned from international competition for the rest of his life for kicking the referee when he didn’t like the call that was made..I’m glad that incidents like this are very few..

Group Anec is organizing the very first Beach Tennis tournament on August 2nd and 3rd. This new Tenis-Padel and some volleyball modality is becoming a very popular sport with local sports fanatics because it is a fun way to stay in shape and healthy. The tournament will be held in the Voley Playa area in front of the Aitana Restaurant in Playa San Juan.

This sport is played with tennis or paddle rackets and balls, the court is the same as in beach volley and a net is placed somewhat lower than in volleyball . The score is done just like in Tennis although sometimes sets can be reduced to four games. The object of the game is to pass the ball over to the other team to be returned without touching the floor, it is played in pairs, a point is won when the ball is not returned within the field.

There will be cash and sporting good awards for all the winners.
