Twice-defending champions extend their unbeaten streak to 21 in a row! United States Beach Volleyball team Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings defeat Jen Kessy and April Ross receiving their third consecutive gold medal - through Athens, Beijing and now London.
May-Treanor and Walsh Jennings have won every match they've ever played at the Summer Games and lost just one of 43 sets. Before the Americans won their second straight gold in Beijing, no one had ever received even two beach volleyball gold medals.
Ross and Kessy, who received a silver medal in their Summer Games debut, described their fellow Americans as legends. "They're the best team of all time," Kessy said.
May-Treanor celebrated their win by dancing off the sand and taking a victory lap around the court before leaving Horse Guards Parade with Walsh Jennings.
