TOKYO — The gamblers looked at one another. When had they known their bet would pay off?
“When we won our first tournament,” said Alix Klineman.
“It’s funny, because I was committed,” said April Ross. “This was gonna be my partner for the quad, and however we started, that was just going to be how we started, we're gonna work through it. But we did win our first international tournament, and it was just kind of like, Well, duh.”
Klineman laughed. “We made the right choice,” she said.
Twenty-four hours from a chance at an Olympic gold medal in beach volleyball, it sure seems that way.
They beat Switzerland in the semifinal in straight sets, 21–12, 21–11, playing an aggressive style they had settled on beforehand to counter the physical Swiss players. Klineman had four points on blocks. Both sets were close early before the Americans dispatched the Swiss.

I do not think this US beach volleyball team will engage in any political protest during gold medal ceremony...Very unlikely...
Nelly Korda will be playing for gold in golf in the fourth round of the women’s tournament tomorrow night at 5:30 I believe.
An awesome 19 year old woman won Gold in a canoeing event just awhile ago.
and we care WHY??????????????????
Switzerland has a beach volleyball team? Where do they go to practice?
They do and its fine looking team.
Because we enjoy the Olympics and enjoy watching Americans win. If you don’t care, why are you even reading the thread?
Glad to see Ross win the gold after getting silver and bronze in the past two Olympics.
Both put their hands over their hearts when the national anthem was played.
this thread is useless without . . .
US team just won gold...Beat Australian team by 2-0...They are being interviewed on NBC...I am happy for those two ladies...
9 posts in and no pictures...
I did not think that Team Australia was good enough to beat Americans...
By the way, US women's indoor volleyball team will play in a semifinal game at 12 AM Eastern Time...Against Serbia...
It is not a big deal to build a sand volleyball court...
There is a sand volleyball court on USC campus...USC is located in South Los Angeles...South of 10 Freeway...
They are tall and both are flat as a board.
I figured it was maybe Austria. Or Kansas.
yeah, I’m ready for a female felon now. almost any female felon will do. maybe one of them bad teacher chicks.
There are many Americans that love both some sports and great performances by American's that love America.
If you saw the heart warming performance of the black, woman wrestler that won Gold and wrapped herself in the American Flag and praised her Country you would understand.
If that performance wouldn't make you proud of her and America, I feel sorry for you.
Just a thought that you don’t know who’s waiting to watch even recorded events so I would wait until at least the day passes before posting any results that might spoil an event somebody is planning to watch at a later time.
because of jerks like you, you deserve the worst comment i have ever written on fr, over your immature “and we care WHY??????????????????” screed
— grow up
