The 'Dream Team' of Beach Volleyball wins gold again

Despite facing stern competition from the Chinese team in the first set, the US duo won four out of the last five points to win the first set 21-18.

The US team won the first three points of the second set, but a mistake by the American duo allowed the Chinese team back into the match. A pair of aces by the hard-serving veteran of the Chinese team, Tian Jia, gave her and Wang a 9-8 lead.

With heavy rain causing the ball to be extremely slippery, the Chinese team tried hard to defeat the US pair, which are yet to lose a match in Olympic competition. However, both May-Treanor and Walsh were able to quickly anticipate Tian and Wang's offensive moves, while Walsh scored many points through blistering smashes. The US pair wrapped up the match by winning the second set 21-18.
