It's been a day of highs and lows for American women at the Beijing Olympics. Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor defended their gold medal in women's beach volleyball. Though it was raining, the players didn't seem to mind, with Walsh saying, "The rain made it better. I don't know why, but it made it better. The ball is really wet and slimy, and you have to take care of the ball. But it's not my first rodeo in the rain." The Daily News' Filip Bondy noted after the winning spike, "The two Americans dropped to their knees, hugged, rolled around in the sand and came off looking like glazed doughnuts in two-piece bathing suits."
