They finally beat the world’s #1 team and current World Champions!
Congratulations to Kerri Walsh and Misty May Treanor for winning the 2011 Moscow Open against Brazil’s Larissa and Juliana (23-21/ 21-15). “We did not want to lose again. A couple of consecutive losses is a great motivation. Also we had not won a gold medal for some time.” said Walsh.
Watch their Golden Moment:
Misty and Kerri are now $43,500 richer. Dang!
The Bronze Medal was won by China’s Chen Xue and Xi Zhang after winning an epic 3 set match against Italy’s Greta Cicolari and Marta Menegatti (21-17 22-24 15-9).
Congratulations to the winners and to all the teams who competed! Fans in Moscow were treated to a world class event!
Next Stop: Quebec, Canada!
