The United States beach volleyball team of Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh won their second consecutive Olympic Gold Medal Thursday in Beijing, China. To make it even sweeter, they beat the “home girls,” the Chinese team of Tian Jia and Wang Jie, for their 108th straight victory.
The New York Times reports: May-Treanor and Walsh have proved again that they remain leaps ahead of the competition. Who in Olympic sports has had a better 2008? They have not dropped a set since July 13 and they won all 10 tournaments they entered on the American beach volleyball tour.
And how could they lose with the personal pat on the back they got pre-game from President Bush, who passed up a chance for a rump slap? They thanked the President in their victory celebration.
Makes me proud to be an American! I’d have to turn in my Southern Redneck card if I didn’t like to watch girls in bikinis play beach volleyball.
