Two-time defending gold medalists Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh remained unbeaten in preliminary action of the women's beach volleyball tournament at the London Games, winning in straight sets on Monday.
On what was May-Treanor's 35th birthday, the Americans posted a 21-14, 21-19 win over Marketa Slukova and Kristyna Kolocova of the Czech Republic to improve to 2-0 in Pool C play. The U.S. duo have won 31 straight sets without a loss in Olympic play.
Zhanh Xi and Xue Chen, who won bronze in the women's tournament four years ago in Beijing, rebounded from a loss in their opening game to defeat the Swiss team of Simone Kuhn and Nadine Zumkehr in three sets.
