During the warm up to the Games, the pair played a demonstration match in Parliament Square, opposite the Houses of Parliament.

They finished in 17th place at the World Championships in 2011, which made them the highest placed British pair. They were knocked out by the reigning Olympic champions, Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh.

Dampney and Mullin were awarded the host nation place for the beach volleyball at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, where the events are due to take place on Horse Guards Parade.
