Brazilians love the beach — and they are really loving the beach volleyball competition at the Rio Olympics.

That's because Brazil has three entries in Tuesday's men's and women's semifinals, including Alison Cerutti and Bruno Oscar Schmidt, who eliminated Americans Phil Dalhausser and Nick Lucena on Monday night. The Brazilians will face the Dutch team of Alexander Brouwer and Robert Meeuwsen.

On the women's side, Kerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross of the United States play Tuesday for a spot in the gold-medal game when they meet Brazilian world champions Agatha and Barbara at the stroke of midnight on the beach.
