Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh made history in Beijing, becoming the first beach volleyball team to win gold in two consecutive Olympic Games. The duo didn't lose a single set in their seven 2008 Olympic Games matches, and they beat the Chinese hometown favorites in the finals despite having to play in a downpour. Together, the California girls have won 108 matches in a row, securing their spot as the greatest beach volleyball team of all time.
