Medal table | Olympic schedule | How to watch | Olympic news
The United States has a history of dominance in women’s beach volleyball, with four gold medalists in the past five Summer Olympics. That trend didn’t hold true in Paris, with no American women making it past the quarterfinals.
Sara Hughes and Kelly Cheng lost 2-0 to Switzerland’s Tanja Hueberli and Nina Brunner on Tuesday, one day after the duo of Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss fell in the round of 16, 2-0, to Canada’s Brandie Wilkerson and Melissa Humana-Paredes. Hughes and Cheng dropped the first set 21-18, and the second 21-19.
The United States now has just one team remaining in the beach volleyball tournament, with Andrew Benesh and Miles Partain taking on Qatar in Wednesday’s quarterfinals. The last time an American men’s team won a beach volleyball medal was in 2008, when Phile Dalhausser and Todd Rogers won gold in Beijing.
