Brink-Reckermann win the gold medal in London

The final game between Alison-Emanuel from Brazil and Brink-Reckermann from Germany was decided in 3 intensive sets. After a very tight first set that went to Brink-Reckermann on a score of 23-21, the second set saw the brazilian team come back in the game to decide this set clearly 21-16.

The gold medal therefore had to be played in a 3rd set which saw the german team take a big option on the gold medal by a score of 12-8. But the living legend Emanuel Rego played some strong breakpoints in the attack to tight the score once again at 14-14. But the final coolness of the german led them finally win on a score of 16-14.

Congratulations to Julius Brink and Jonas Reckermann for their first olympic

Misty May and Kerry Walsh take the Goldmedal

After a quite clear game between the two american teams Kerry-Ross and May-Walsh, the great experience of Misty May and Kerry Walsh permitted to control the game and to score some breakpoints at half-time of each set to finally win clearly both sets 21-16 to get their 3rd gold medal in a row.

Especially the extraordinary defense of Misty May (15 digs !!) was a solid foundation for triumphing in the fight for gold.

Silver medal goes to Jennifer Kerry and April Ross, who could not take advantage of their stronger services (70 and 77 km/h against 51 and 58 km/h for May-Walsh).
