Beach Volleyball: New partner, same result
October 12, 2008 - With her usual partner recovering from a ruptured achilles tendon suffered on DWTS, two-time U.S. beach volleyball Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh has teamed with fellow Olympian Nicole Branagh. The duo breezed through most of the SWATCH FIVB World Tour beach event at the Jumeirah Beach Park courts in Dubai and met U.S. teammates Jen Boss and April Ross in the weekend final.
Branagh and Walsh defeated their compatriots 21-18, 21-19 for the championship. The pair shared the $28,000 first-place prize while Boss and Ross split $19,500 for the silver medal finish.
In winning her 38th international gold medal, Walsh tied longtime partner Misty May-Treanor for the most titles at FIVB-sanctioned events.
