For those who actually read these blog entries, you may recall that I mentioned a certain Dutch beach volleyball player in an entry this past Sunday who just happens to be very attractive.
Well, her name is Merel Mooren. She is 25, and (perhaps it's hard to tell in this photo) she is indeed quite tall. Wikipedia lists her as being 1.86 meters tall (perhaps my friend Terry Williams knows how big that is. He is good in math!). Mooren is also a native of Haarlem, a town I visited back in 1993.
Her teammate is Rebekka Kadijk. In 2005 and 2006, the duo reached the European Championship finals. Last year, they won their first Euro Tour competition in Hamburg, Germany.
Mooren was a professional indoor player who kicked off her shoes and headed to the beach in 2002.
They lost to the American duo of Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor in Olympic action on Sunday.
But, I will keep an eye out for the Dutch team and see how they do the rest of the way.
