Ok serious question: Why does each team have a player with a different colored jersey?

That's the Libero. She's a back-court specialist whose only purpose is to play defense. She can sub in for any player in the back row, sub out, and sub in again for a different player. She cannot set in front of the three-meter line, and just to be safe most Liberos bump-set from anywhere on the court.

Glad you asked, and thanks for the good explanation.

Not sure what's going on with Jordan. She had two kills, but they brought Hodge in and she now has eight kills. Good move by the coaches.

EDIT - 23-16. This one's all over.

I posted this in the Jordan Larson thread that I saw her trying to shake off a possible injury to her hand after a first set spike
 
Question ????? When the athletes are done with their events do they go home or are they allowed to stay and enjoy the Olympics? For example can the swimmers stay for the track and field next week.

I believe they're allowed to stay. At least that's what the one American judo woman said.
