Two-time Olympic women’s beach volleyball gold medalists Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings are aiming for their third straight Olympic gold medal, but to get it, they’ll need to beat their Team USA compatriots Jen Kessy and April Ross in the gold-medal final Wednesday night on NBC.

They defeated Brazil’s Juliana Silva and Larissa Franca, the No. 1 seed and reigning world champion duo, to reach the final.
