Bikini-clad cheer squads add spice to beach volleyball
GUANGZHOU - Bikini-clad cheer squads have made beach volleyball a focal point of the Asian Games with Chinese fans flocking to the sand to watch the action both on and off court.

South Korean baseball players were caught gawking at a curvy Asian Games' hostess as she walked past them just minutes before the final match.
Several players were caught staring with their mouths wide open.
Unlike the Yemeni beach volleyball team which blamed their loss to the Indonesians at the Asian Games on bikini-clad cheerleaders, South Korea scored three home runs on their way to a 9-3 victory over holders Taiwan. View the photos below:
