The Americans beat Beijing bronze medalists Xue Chen and Zhang Xi 22-20, 22-20 to clinch at least a silver medal. The 2004 and ‘08 champions will play the winner of the late semifinal between Americans Jennifer Kessy and April Ross and the top-seeded Brazilians, Juliana and Larissa. It was the 20th straight Olympic victory for May-Treanor and Walsh. “We just defeated the best team in the world for the past year. These Chinese women are great athletes,” Walsh Jennings said over the stadium sound system after the win. “We know we have this in us, we’ve just got to go execute.” -- source link
