Is it just me, or are the rules determining one's "home country" just a wee bit lax? From what I gather, if I wanted to participate in the Olympics, I would be eligible to compete for the USA, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Germany, or Israel. Although I'd probably have to have some kind of athletic ability as well. Regardless, I will still be rooting for Geor and Gia. Wherever they're from, these guys can really play volleyball, and they're fun to watch! @Lucia
