Misty and Kerri win Gold!

Congratulations to Misty May and Kerri Walsh for winning their second consecutive Olympic gold Medal. Misty and Kerri defeated the Chinese duo of Tian Jia/Wang 21-18,21-18 to become the first team to repeat as Olympic beach volleyball champions. In case you missed it, catch the highlights and recap at NBCOlympics.com.

With the 2012 Olympics in London four long years away, Misty and Kerri aren’t sure what the future holds for them. They are however enjoying their current victory like it could be their last taste of Olympic glory.

“Coming into the Games, I didn’t know if winning would feel the same emotionally as last time, but I think it surpassed the medal in Athens because Kerri and I want to start a new chapter in our lives off the court,” said Misty. “Whether either of us comes back in London in 2012 or not, you never know after having a child. So right now, I have to think this may be my last Olympics. I may come back, but I just want to start a family. First I need to spend time with my husband.”

My 11yr old son and I started watching beach vollyball during the Olympics—I had personally never watched this sport before. He and I feel in love with the sport watching you and Kerri—you guys are fantastic! He is a special needs child and has never been able to participate in a many sports activities—but what he loved most about watching you both was the idea of being a “team”—when you talked about 2006-and having to “put the blinders on” about your relationship and team..etc…he heard that and immediately liked you both…he said “see mom—they didn’t give up on each other..and they didn’t let other people effect their faith in each other”—I hope you realize what a lesson in humanity that is for millions of people—-and not just to an 11yr old child. Congratulations! You guys are awesome!

Congratulations, Misty! I am so thankful that you and Kerri won your second gold medal!! I have been faithfully following your career since 2003. I think that you are the best volleyball player of all time. I wanted to thank you for your support and your kind words about President Bush. I also want to thank you for being very patriotic during this time when our country has forgotten what patriotism is. So, THANK YOU!! Also, congratulations on being named the Most Outstanding Player!! You certainly deserve it! May God richly bless you and Matt!!!

Congrats on yet another GOLD. Well deserved and very much earned. Your playing throughtout the last 4yrs has been intense and full of hard work….you girls totlally deserve this victory and I had no doubt. Extremely glad you and Kerri did not decide to end the partnership and decided to ignore the outside voices and do your own this, Perfect example of never letting anyone tell you what to do. YOU GIRLS SHOWED THEM :) wooo hooooo.
Your little :tazmanian Devil run around in the 19th point of the second set was crazy. It looked SO easy for you. That team did not stand a chance Misty :)
Enjoy your win and I hope this is not the end for you two. make sure you come back after the “lil ones” are born. A team like yours should not end this soon. You both are truly the BEST at this sport and have set a level of play that will not be touched for yrs to come….Well perhaps the next generation of lil misty and lil kerri ;) ha haaa. Cheers girls….SUPER happy for ya and wish you both the very best. Hopefully one day I will have the opportunity to meet my other idol. hey…it only took me 13yrs to meet my idol in Downhill skiing who was the Gold medalist in ’94. Funny story how we met, but lets just say its something I will never forget…nor will she I am sure.
Last thing….are you and Kerri playing in the AVP tour come Sept? Would love to see another month of Volleyball at its best before you retire for a bit ;)!!!
k, for some reason my post is not going up…so if you get this msg a couple times….well…Sorry :( lol…stupid computer
BIG HUGS for the Team of Destiny :)

The game last night was so intense I could hardley contain myself. This was my version of the superbowl and it was great. These women are the best of the best and an inpiration to young ladies everywhere. Misty and Kerri are great role models for the younger generation of girls and volleyball players everywhere. You have made the USA so proud. When Misty got choked up after the match I was right there with you. Great Job again! :)

I can’t tell you enough how proud I am of you guys. People often thank me for my service as I’m an active duty Soldier stationed in Iraq but I wanted to thank YOU for what YOU’VE done for our country. I was so fortunate to catch most of your matches over here, especially your gold medal one. Seeing you and Kerri running around with our flag draped around your shoulders was truly awe inspiring. I’ve been a big fan since before your last Olympic gold. You’re great for the sport and you’re performance in Beijing proves that you are the very best. Thanks for making a long tour in Iraq that much more bearable. Again, congratulations to you both…safe travels back to the U.S. Jim

Fred Johnson | on 20/8/08

Congratulations! I couldn’t be more proud of the two of you for several reasons. You played exceptionally well. You displayed such wonderful patriotism at a time and in a place where this country desperately needs it. You also showed respect for a position of authority, our President. Your example to my kids this evening meant so much. We need to be teaching our children to respect people in positions of authority.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your patriotism and great example to us all.

Thanks!

Teresa McCrory | on 20/8/08
