SOUNDBITE (English): Kerri Walsh, Gold medal winner
"You know, Kerri (Walsh) and I would probably say that we're not playing good enough. We want to keep getting better. But that's what we expect from ourselves. We want to come out and we want to show the world what we're made of. I thought we kept getting stronger throughout the event and the finals, I mean, I am so proud of us. I am so proud of how we've been doing."

Walsh and May-Traenor will now return home, but they'll be back in Europe soon for the real deal.
