The game is just about to get underway. Handshakes all around at the net. It's a grayish day in Beijing today.
103 match winning streak for the US team, Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh. I wonder who will win this ;)
Announcer: "She is receiving more balls" hehehee That's right, I'm that immature ;)
It's 12-5 for USA but the Norwegians are much louder :)
Fun fact: the Norwegians have opted to be called by their first names and the Americans want to go by their last names. *HEAD EXPLODES*
16-7, still in the first set. Norway needs to win this to advance
Misty May did the makerana on the Great Wall. Another fun fact from the announcers on CBC
It's 18-10 for USA on an ace from Norway
Kerri Walsh wants to start a family right after the Olympics. Once again, I'm not sure this is important to know right now, but whatever. I would pay for a video of that btw
Norway sneaks another one through the block. 20-12
21-12, USA takes the first set
Start of the 2nd set now...2-1 USA
lol Now Misty May wants a baby too. Do you think they talk about this stuff with the men? :)
This US team has been together for 8 years now. 4-3 US
hahah Cameraman just zoomed into Walsh's chest. Now I'm sure they are sexist...and sexy ;)
Now the announcer is talking about how the Norwegians had a lot of mystery illnesses this year. Eww
Huge block by Walsh. 5-4 USA
Another huge block by Walsh. Norway can't get by her at the net. 8-4 USA. Norway calls a timeout
Walsh pounds it into the sand. 9-5
Walsh lost her wedding ring in another match and lots of fans helped her sift the sand with a metal detector
13-10 for USA
Norway's making it close. 14-11
Walsh's 20th attack brings it to 15-11
16-12 lead. They just need to get to 21 and this match is over. They switch sides
Norway working hard to keep it in...
OH, Norway ends up sprawled on the ground
Walsh is just unbeatable at the net. 18-14
Norway is always running around, always scrambling. USA is always in control and efficient. You can really see the difference in the level of these 2 teams.
19-15 on a great poke from Walsh
Walsh serving for the match
And there it is, they win 21-15.
The game is over. USA wins pool B of the Beach Volleyball tournament
