American pair April Ross and Alix Klineman defeated Australia to secure gold in beach volleyball in the Tokyo Olympics Thursday. It's the first gold in the sport for Team USA since 2012.
Ross, 39, and Klineman, 31, beat Australia's Taliqua Clancy and Mariafe Artacho del Solar in straight sets, dominating the entire match. Team USA did not lose a single set in their elimination matches en route to the final, either. "It's so tough," Ross said. "It was such a shot in the dark. For us to get here and do this, with this kind of competition just blows my mind. To get a gold medal finally, feels so amazing"More Related News
