Team USA is back on top of the women’s beach volleyball world. Americans April Ross and Alix Klineman beat Taliqua Clancy and Mariafe Artacho del Solar of Australia in straight sets on Thursday night to win gold in the event. For the U.S., it is their first gold in women’s beach volleyball since the legendary tandem of Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings were the last team standing at the 2012 Games in London.
