PARIS: Lezana Placette felt a wave of calm and looked up at Paris' most famous landmark. “Whenever I get a little nervous, I turn my head and look at the Eiffel Tower. That should help remind me what I'm playing for,” said the French beach volleyball player as she stood on the sand of the Olympic Stadium in the shadow of the tower for the first time. On Wednesday, the first practice of Olympic beach volleyball athletes took place at the photogenic location.
