Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings went back to work Monday and took on the Czech Republic duo of Kristyna Kolocova and Marketa Slukova.
In this age of Twitter and live streaming, brought to you by NBC Olympics, a result doesn't stay secret for long. While some may see this match in prime time, others will know that the end result will favor the Americans.
An article written by Jimmy Golen of the Associated Press and posted on Yahoo! reports that May-Treanor and Walsh Jennings were able to hold their own and win in straight sets.
We now salute Busted Coverage for being ahead of the curve and introducing us to the competition ahead of their match with a splendid slideshow of Kolocova and Slukova.
They also got us up to speed on the particulars of these ladies who will be prime time starlets for a brief moment in the states.
Both players are 24; both are single. The team won its first match against Austria 10-21, 21-13 & 15-13.
There is a website dedicated to the two, Kolocova-Slukova.cz that seems to feature a great wealth of information on both players.
Kolocova calls Prague her home and is studying sports management. If you ever wondered what she looks for in a man, you would have to look like Brad Pitt. He is listed as the celebrity that she would love to have a dinner date with.
Slukova is a self-described moody athlete who loves to read and actually started out in gymnastics as a kid.
The Olympics continue to introduce us to a world of athletes who we are sad only feature every four years.
