The path to a fifth Olympics – at which she aspires to claim a fourth consecutive beach volleyball gold medal – has been the roughest of all for Kerri Walsh Jennings. And she has the documentary to prove it.
“Kerri Walsh Jennings: Gold Within” is set to air July 31 at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT on NBC, five days before the Rio Games Opening Ceremony. It’s a 45-minute film that followed Walsh Jennings around at home, on the beach and in doctors’ offices as she endured a serious shoulder surgery that threatened to keep her from Rio.
