The problems for this year
This year there as been a few problems with the kits for the Olympics. The Germans discovered that some of their Olympic kits were too small, while others were simply not given.
"We were hoping things would be a little different," said disgruntled captain Bjorn Andrae.
"This is an Olympics and not just any competition."
The problem has come about because a larger volleyball team was selected than was originally planned by the German Olympic Sports Federation (DSOB).
Supplies of German team sweatshirts and shorts are the main problem and the team were hoping to be clothed correctly before they boarded the plane for China.
