The American duo of April Ross and Alix Klineman are guaranteed to win at least silver in beach volleyball, which would be Ross’s third Olympic medal. But both are seeking their first gold as they play Mariafe Artacho del Solar and Taliqua Clancy of Australia in today’s final.
Ross won a silver medal at the 2012 Games in London with her partner Jen Kessy, and a bronze medal at the 2016 Rio Games with Kerri Walsh Jennings.
Klineman, 31, switched to beach volleyball in 2017 after mostly playing indoor volleyball, and teamed with Ross, 39.
