Eiffel Tower stadium wows Olympic beach volleyball players: ‘I got goosebumps’

PARIS: Lezana Placette felt a wave of calm as she looked at Paris' most famous landmark. “When I get a little nervous, I just turn my head and look at the Eiffel Tower. It's supposed to help me remember what I'm playing for,” said the French beach volleyball player as she stood in the shadow of the tower on the sand of the Olympic Stadium for the first time. The first training session of the Olympic beach volleyball athletes took place at the photogenic location on Wednesday.
