Beach volleyball legend on the chemistry, athleticism - and hand signals - needed for his sport

US beach volleyball legend Randy Stoklos is on the programme. He was five times world beach volleyball champion with his partner Sinjin Smith and they became known as the "Kings of Rio". He talks about the chemistry and athleticism needed for his sport, and the hand signals he invented that now feature in every game. On Thursday night he's playing a "Legends" match on the Olympic court in between the bronze and gold medal Olympic matches.
