I'm not the authority by any means but that looks like a few steps. I also suspect there are many different ways to achieve that effect - blur, transparency, masks and such.

ctrl-j (copy layer)
filter > blur > gaussian blur 6.9 px
opacity ~75%

is how it's done.

Definitely gaussian blur. And hell yes, most of the girls in beach volleyball teams have great legs, especially the Brazilian olympic team...

You can have a better effect yet if after the blurring opacity change and masking (if necessary, cos i dont think this is the case) you make the opacity even a little lower and move the layer a little (very little).
Usually afterwards i try to play with the layer modes as well (instead of normal, soft light for example)
