Beijing 2008 Olympic Beach Volleyball Women's Gold Medal Match
Americans win second consecutive Olympic beach volleyball Gold. The indomitable American duo of Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh win Gold 21-18 & 21-18 in front of the sellout crowd of 12,000 that braved the steady rain to cheer on the Chinese team of Jia Tian and Jie Wang. In the bronze-medal match that preceded the final, Chen Xue and Xi Zhang, also of China, defeated Brazil’s Renata Ribeiro and Talita Antunes in straight sets. China has evolved as an Olympic beach volleyball powerhouse winning women's Silver and Bronze.
