Off Track ..... Sisters celebrate far way from farm

Anybody would have thought Austria's Schwaiger sisters had won gold at the Olympic beach volleyball on Friday.

As they closed out a tight third set against Germany to win a quarter-final place, the sisters jumped up and down on the sand, flicking their knees up like children, grinning at each other in disbelief and screaming.

"Already when we made this round it was the biggest thing that had happened to us," said Doris, 23, adding that their progress was being eagerly followed on television back home.
