Brazil women beat US, ending Walsh Jennings’ golden run (Yahoo Sports)

If Kerri Walsh Jennings winds up with a fourth medal in Olympic beach volleyball, it will be bronze – not gold, like the other three she has earned in what had been an unblemished record at the Summer Games. Walsh Jennings and partner April Ross were relegated to the third-place game by Brazil’s reigning world champions, who beat the Americans in straight sets on Tuesday night to advance to a gold medal matchup with Germany. ”We could squash that team, and I say that with all the respect in the world,” Walsh Jennings said.
