Gold for MistyKer!

They finally beat the world’s #1 team and current World Champions!

Congratulations to Kerri Walsh and Misty May Treanor for winning the 2011 Moscow Open against Brazil’s Larissa and Juliana (23-21/ 21-15). “We did not want to lose again. A couple of consecutive losses is a great motivation. Also we had not won a gold medal for some time.” said Walsh.

Watch their Golden Moment:

Misty and Kerri are now $43,500 richer. Dang!

The Bronze Medal was won by China’s Chen Xue and Xi Zhang after winning an epic 3 set match against Italy’s Greta Cicolari and Marta Menegatti (21-17 22-24 15-9).

Congratulations to the winners and to all the teams who competed! Fans in Moscow were treated to a world class event!

Next Stop:  Quebec, Canada!
