U.S. beach volleyball foes to team up in Rio?

(AP) Kerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross were opponents in the gold medal game in London. There's a good chance they could be teammates in Rio.

Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor capped a brilliant career with their third straight Olympic gold, beating Ross and Jennifer Kessy in straight sets. Both May-Treanor and Kessy plan to be out of the international game by the time the Rio Games come around in 2016.

May-Treanor is done competitively, looking to turn her attention to starting a family with Dodgers catcher Matt Treanor. Kessy says she's going to play for one more year until Ross finds another partner.

"She's a winner," Walsh Jennings says. "She's a champion. She's a fighter. She's someone I'd be honored to play with."
