RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — With three small children at home — one for each Olympic gold medal — Kerri Walsh Jennings turned into a morning person whether she wanted to or not.
So preparing to play at midnight in the marquee match of the Rio de Janeiro beach volleyball tournament is less of a struggle than it could have been.
"I've been trying so long to be a morning person and it's just so contrary to who I am," Walsh Jennings said after she and April Ross beat Australia 21-14, 21-13 in a match that began at 12:34 a.
