Walsh Jennings, Ross rebound to win beach volleyball bronze (Yahoo Sports)

Cursing and crying and blaming herself after falling short of her goal to win a fourth consecutive Olympic gold medal. Staggered by her first-ever loss at the Summer Games, behind by one set in the bronze medal match and trailing in the second, Kerri Walsh Jennings pulled herself together on the Copacabana sand to become the most-decorated beach volleyball player in the sport’s Olympic history. ”It’s crazy what 24 hours can do,” Walsh Jennings said after she and April Ross beat Brazil’s Talita and Larissa 17-21, 21-17, 15-9 on Wednesday night.
