May-Treanor, Walsh Grab Gold, China Grabs Something Else

She's already got Dubya's handprints all over her ass, so Kerri Walsh hardly notices this, one would assume. Walsh and Misty May-Treanor brought home the gold for the good ol' USA once again, beating the People's Republic of Cop-A-Feel 2-0 (21-18, 21-18) early Thursday morning in Women's Parking Lot Volleyball. The American duo became the first in their sport, male or female, to repeat as Olympic champions. It was their 108th consecutive win dating to August of last year, and not even a Chinese government-ordered rainstorm could prevent the local pair, Tian Jia and Wang Jiefor, from losing. Walsh and May-Treanor are 14-0 in Olympic play, but don't count on them being 15-0 in London. The pair are retiring, each looking to start families. "I was taking this as my last game," May-Treanor said. "I was putting everything into it." A Chinese team also won the bronze medal, beating Brazil. Odd moment following the match, as Walsh — being interviewed on NBC — blurted: "Can I say something else? I'd like to thank our President for all he's done, and all the support." Yes, I'm sure that day of Bush playing grab-ass at the beach volleyball venue really turned the tide. May-Treanor/Walsh Take 2nd Straight Beach Volleyball Gold [USA Today]
