The unbeatable team of Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh continued their reign as the world’s best beach volleyball duo, beating the Chinese pair of Wang Jie and Tian Jia in straight sets Wednesday to win the Gold Medal. They are the first pair to win two Gold Medals in Beach Volleyball and the first to go undefeated in two Olympic competitions.
In the sometimes pouring rain, the Chinese did make the match interesting. They were one of the few teams to challenge May/Walsh in the tournament, even leading the Americans for a few points.
Earlier in the day, China’s Xue Chen and Zhang Xi best the Brazilian team of Talita Antones and Renata Ribeiro to win the Bronze Medal.
