2012: Kerri Walsh-Jennings and Misty May-Treanor's Historic Three-Peat

From 2004 to 2012, the dream duo of Kerri Walsh-Jennings and Misty May-Treanor owned beach volleyball. In their first two Olympic tournaments, they took gold without ever dropping a set. In 2012, after a few years away from each other (Kerri gave birth to two children and Misty dealt with injuries), they entered their final Olympics as underdogs and fought their way to one last gold, becoming the only beach volleyball team with three straight Olympic titles and cementing their status as icons of the sport.
