The American duo of Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh continued to prove their dominance in women’s beach volleyball as they captured the gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics on Thursday.
As impressive as their 21-18, 21-18 victory in a steady rain over China’s Wang Jie and Tian Jia of China was, perhaps more impressive was the fact it was win number 108 in a row for the May-Treanor and Walsh tandem.
With the straight set victory May-Treanor and Walsh also extended their streak of never dropping a set at the Olympics and became the first pair to ever defend their Olympic gold medal title in beach volleyball.
