refocus. >> gavira at the net. herrera playing defense. and rogers down the line. it's so hard not to break on rogers. you have to really be disciplined if you're the defender. once you break, you're dead. watch herrera back here. takes one move. right there. you start the wrong way, you can't recover. >> todd rogers, he's seen that peripherally. >> herrera over the top. rogers thought dalhausser was going to take it. and it drops in no man's land. 15 kills for herrera. rogers and herrera battling.

and herrera says, nope, can't make it on that one. >> so different than the japan match we covered the other day. there's such a rhythm to this team. when people serve todd rogers, he's the best passer out here. passing to the best setter. and then such control. the match two days ago was chaos. phil passing all over the place. todd not as good a setter. such a different rhythm tonight. >> 16-9, the americans. and that serve out of bounds. >> phil dalhausser torn in two directions tonight. on one, he wants to get that jump serve rolling. he wants to get it hitting for the rest of the tournament. on the other side, probably the smart play is to keep the ball into herrera and not go for too much. >> dalhausser, the set off the net. and rogers rolls it out of bounds. so rogers now 20 kills in 35 attempts.

they've committed 11 errors. uncharacteristic. the crowd having a good time here. rogers and herrera working hard. and the cut shot has not been there tonight. usually a brilliant shot. one of todd's best. >> what the spaniards did is exactly what the americans have been doing. they've served todd rogers short, take away the approach. and then you're right. that cut shot usually so golden. he's been hitting it short. he's got to miss long on that. >> after a big runup by the americans, spain has come back. scored 7 of 10 here. herrera. dalhausser's got it. look out below. gavira with a dig! dalhausser trying again, nobody up, and he puts it away. i'm a little surprised at rogers

and dalhausser. why wouldn't they -- when they serve rogers short, why can't he just pop that up to dalhausser there and have him hit on two? >> he told me that's something they've been working on. i think the issue is they have to commit to it. you can see in that rally, todd's passing is already backing up, thinking he's going to hit. he's got to sell out and make it so that phil's got to hit on two. >> rogers and dalhausser tells us they weren't comfortable doing that in beijing. but they felt more comfortable doing it here. they've worked on it, as kevin detailed. and herrera looks completely spent. 18-12. i'm sure he's thinking now, save my energy. let's get it to that third and final set, and i'll try to trcrk it up and maybe we can surprise them in the third set. dalhausser blocks it.

gavira cuts it. >> gavira is such a fun player to watch. he did not play volleyball growing up. he was actually a junior champion bochycalled pancake. a game they use iron balls to hit a smaller ball. much like bochy ball. at 17 he was the second ranked player in all of spain. someone asked him one time, what is it like playing with herrera? he said it's an honor to play with him. but it should be an honor to play with me because i will make him the vice president of patanke. vice president. 19-13. the americans have played a much better second set. first set was disaster. give spain credit. they came out and surprised the americans. rogers with the dig. herrera, whoa!

and herrera souffles one into the cheap seats, but he got the touch. so a point. >> the knuckle, so much control. then phil dalhausser actually in the net at the end of that play. >> so no touch detected? >> but in the net. >> maybe a mini touch. didn't matter. it's a point. 19-14, americans trying to wrap up the second set. rogers at the net. and grinding it out is pablo herrera. >> so fun to watch. we talked about penaripa. the style of volleyball. all about the control. look at the bottom of the jump and seeing where the other team is. >> 19-15. americans not out of the woods yet. they need a kill. rogers. to gavira. and he puts it away.

americans are sitting on a time-out. they better use it soon. spain on a bit of a run here. >> one of the dangers, this is not a team that panics. if anything, they underplay things. and sometimes they may wait too long to call a time-out. >> todd rogers, much like phil jackson. old lakers ball coach. doesn't like to call time-outs. thinks it's a sign of weakness as rogers spikes it through. >> the difference between this second game and the first, he's bringing out the fast ball that he didn't bring in that first set loss. >> so the first set point for the americans. todd rogers and phil dalhausser. rogers will serve it. so a good rotation for the americans with dalhausser at the net. short serve, no.

and herrera shanks it under the net. and that is it. so a big win in the second set for the americans. but spain still has a chance as we'll set up for set number three to decide this match. one of the things that todd rogers does well is utilize his line shot. good look at it right here, kevin. >> so good. sets it up with a fast ball. you can see the defender running to the right and slapping it down the line. really good peripheral vision. for the americans, i think the key is two things. phil dalhausser has to keep that set off the net. rogers has been having a hard time when the set is too close and the block can grab the ball. todd rogers on the other hand, he needs to bring the fast ball out. sometimes he's getting a little too cute when he should be bringing power. and the other side, the spanish,

it's all going to be about how does pablo herrera come out in the third set. how is the knee looking and whether he's going to be able to use the craftiness to overcome the physical disability. >> rogers and dalhausser, herrera and gavira. u.s. and spain, both been defeated. czechoslovakia. one set to 15. win by two. the americans, the second seeded team in the olympics. spain at 11. expect herrera to crank it up. he's a gamer. he will start serving gavira at the net. here we go. rogers. and rogers puts it away. spain trying to back off and dig. and rogers. >> you see the play -- the plan is to go short to rogers again. but i like what rogers starting

off with. start off with the fast ball. establish the power game. >> rogers the serve. a short serve back to herrera. gavira goes on two. rogers with the dig. and he snaps it down! so todd rogers doing what he does best. digging lips in the back court. >> that's a special play that he's even ready for that. the serve goes to herrera. looks to be three contacts. instead gavira, i love that play going on two. rogers aware and ready for it. >> credit a nice bump set by phil dalhausser. now herrera. so herrera is going to give it everything he's got here in the third and final set. he had the knee injury. he sat out. it swells up after every match. but at this point spain has to go for it. swelling or not.

the right knee of pablo herrera. gavira goes to dalhausser. and dalhausser taps it in the corner. so dalhausser, i believe, looks much better than he did two nights ago against japan. a little bit more rhythm. a little bit more feeling. >> got some of the nerves out. also not as much wind tonight. it's been a much more ball control game rather than a game of error. >> 3-1, united states. dalhausser. rips it! gavira, good pass. and he knocked o eed it out. dalhausser brought his hand down. gavira perhaps looking for the touch. didn't get it. so a side change. this is the third and final set. united states and spain battling here. spain won the first set. the americans big in set number two. and the usa with a 4-1 lead on

the first side change. so drama tonight on the olympic court. phil dalhausser continues to serve. and he's got it! the ace. >> this american team, when they play with urgency, is the best. that's three aces from phil dalhausser. >> 5-1, our score. and spain calls the quick time-out. we'll come back -- comebacks in this tournament have been plentiful. interesting note, 14 of the 19 three-set matches won by the team losing the first set, which is what todd rogers and phil dalhausser have done. >> look at the spray going on. one of the reasons why herrera's able to get back out and feel

better, that's the cooling spray that actually works on inflammation. >> i've seen that used in the nba. the don't hurt no more spray. herrera and gavira trying to hang with the americans. you can see todd and phil much more animated now. >> and you can see what he wants phil to do is he wants to keep that right hand on the line. but press the left hand into the angle on herrera. let's look for that. >> so a little bit of blocking maybe for phil. keep the hands spread. try to take both angles. >> on a play like that, the hit for herrera is off the head right down the middle. >> would he be able to try that? we'll see. 5-1. terrific right down the middle to dalhausser. over the top, dalhausser retrieves. rogers keeps it in play. another attempt for pablo herrera. and herrera somehow got that

through. >> what he's doing tonight is so difficult. he's making it look easy. but it's only because he's got such skills and such vision. able to change that arm speed all the time. here he just gets phil on the way up. >> incredibly gutsy performance by herrera. 5-2, united states. rogers. and gavira dives. chance for a point on transition! rogers, and gavira taps it down, the freebie. >> actually herrera cutting it out even more. see that knuckle. see that course vision. such touch. that's so hard to do. on the beach we're not allowed like indoor to use an open handed ding. you have to go with the knuckle. short and deep with the knuckle. >> herrera 21 kills on 45 attempts. he's got ten digs and two blocks. americans by two. rogers off the net.

and another cut shot into the net. rogers struggling with that shot, and spain catching up quickly. three in a row. >> back to back off each shot that have been ineffective. the problem is as he looks to go to the fast ball now, spain is probably looking for just that shot as well. >> they're playing him for the shot. let's see if herrera drops this time. nope. he stays up. he's into the net. rogers went back to the cut shot. and this one went over. and that would have been down. in olympic beach volleyball, you're not allowed to touch the net at any time. herrera in there big time. >> so intriguing to see him go back to the shot that just didn't work. hardly anyone able to do that out there. you have to have so much confidence in your read and your ability. >> 6-4, usa. another short serve to herrera.

and over the top, rogers pokes it over. gavira on two. got it! i like what gavira is doing. any time he can, trying to help out his partner and go on two. >> and his partner's committing to that play, right? that's something todd could learn from this. here on the play, he is splitting them up. he's not even taking an gavira,t here. >> numbers adding up for both teams. 6-5, united states. spain with the serve. and the serve is there. rally scoring, that service error really costs you a point. in the old days of side-out scoring, that was just a side-out for the americans. but no point. you like rally scoring generally? >> love it. >> certainly moves the game along. makes it intense right from the start. >> and it's easy to understand.

>> gavira, just out of bounds. and another point for the united states. >> that point set up from the phil dalhausser serve. volleyball is a lot like real estate. it's all about location, location. and the serve makes for some bad locations on spiking. >> now, dalhausser, who likes to serve his jumper right down the middle, and hard. there it is. too long. if you're wondering, the court is 52 feet long and 26 feet wide. and the net height for men is 7 feet, 11 5/8 inches, if you're keeping score at home. 8-6. rogers, got it. off gavira. out of bounds. so the americans make the side change at 9-6. >> another transition.

the set now to the middle. todd rogers taking that set earlier out on the right hand side. this is his plan "b." midstream adjust. always good to have that back-up plan. >> there is no technical time-out in the third set. but each team has one at its disposal. down the line, rogers. dalhausser, cut shot, yes! phil dalhausser, by the post an acrobatic play. >> off a great dig from rogers, sets it up with a short serve. makes the great run. and then even though the net shakes, you're allowed to make that play. after you contact the ball, you can run into the pole like phil does right here. >> 10-6, united states. >> look for the short serve once again to herrera. >> herrera gets it. and he rams it, looking for the touch, no. out of bounds.

another point. herrera is giving it his all. but the americans now on a 5-1 scoring run. >> that swing, he's actually going for the hands of dalhausser. just misses it long. >> relentless serving. to herrera. who cuts it back. lucky for herrera, and some of the older players in the tournament, that there is a day off in between to recover and rehab and ice, therapy. >> but if six weeks hasn't been enough, can't think that a day and a half is going to be enough either. >> yeah, good point. 11-7. rogers. keeps it in play. joust. and the americans into the net this time. >> once again, rogers making a play that's pretty standard. a little more difficult. he doesn't pass well, and then phil compounds the error with

that tight set. >> spain still back by just three. going to 15. another tight set. rogers, and dalhausser works its up. and dalhausser says, my bad. phil is considered -- he's certainly the best big man setter on the beach. and maybe the best setter period. but his sets way too tight tonight. >> there are two different standards on setting. two things you're focusing on. one is the release. you want to make sure it's a legal release. the second one is the location. his release has been great. location, not so much tonight. >> 12-8. the united states by four. now dalhausser. herrera. and pins it deep. you can do a lot. if you have shots and you have

some knowledge, you have some experience, you can get by. >> and he has all three of those. plus he has a silver medal, so he shows he's a pressure situation player. >> 12-9. rogers. going on two is dalhausser. so dalhausser a little bit anxious, i believe, about todd's hitting. but he's also a little bit anxious about his own setting. tried to go on two. and suddenly spain within two. so a bit of nervous time for the americans. 4-1 scoring run. another tight set! and spain with the block! >> one of the knocks on phil's setting is he does not get his feet to the ball. you see him leaning into it and falling down. if he took a couple of quicker steps, he could go straight up and down and keep that set off the net. >> the americans with a time-out coming. todd rogers, the player coach for rogers and dalhausser, has

seen enough. the americans will sit down, still up by one, but struggling. >> if i'm the spaniards i keep the pressure on todd. you've got to serve tough, though. because the key is making phil dalhausser move his feet to set the ball. on the other side, if i'm todd roj rs, i'm going to pass a little higher. i'm going to try to get my big guy some time to get under the ball and phil dalhausser has to keep the set off the net. >> united states one of the favored teams here in london. alison and emanuel the top seeded team from brazil, they have been brilliant so far. germany in pool c, they are undefeated. jake gibb and sean rosenthal, number one team in the world in 2012, had a hiccup last night, losing to poland. so that pool is troubled. the dutch in pool "e" looking good at 2-0.

finally, pool "f," santos undee feeted. the americans, perhaps the biggest play of the match right here. 12-11, united states. looking for some offense. rogers, and it's dug! and gavira can't get there. >> textbook play for the u.s. perfect pass. phil dalhausser gets his feet to the ball. stops his feet, sets it high and then something we've been talking about all night long, todd rogers brings the fast ball. >> 13-11 now. united states trying to close out. they'll send dalhausser to the net. herrera expecting to get the ball. he does. rogers with the left. herrera stumbling, and he puts it away anyway!

grinding it out. >> mistake for phil to drop off the net. todd rogers really in a good defensive zone. stay up there, frame the block and give your defender a chance to make the play. >> phil caught in no man's land. so now spain will serve on a chance to tie. third set, play to 15, win by two. crowd has come alive. they sense drama. rogers. he's blocked! still in play! into the corner, score! and the spaniards are hot! >> tight set leads to the block. the spanish stop play here in the net. you can't do that. they froze, arguing to the refs. >> they thought there was a lift.

they are blowing up here. >> have to be very careful. they already got a warning. >> was it a lift or not? >> perfect pass. dalhausser gets his feet there. this is the play here. not a lift, but a double. it hits rogers on the chest and then the arms. you cannot touch the ball two times successively. >> rogers trying to scoop that up in an awkward way. and i think the united states got a break there. >> you have to finish the play. wait until the whistle blows. they had a chance to make that. >> so spain stopped playing for just a moment, and it could cost them. we'll see. united states with its first match point. crowd booing. they don't like it. herrera. cross court, yes. and the crowd now has turned on the americans.

and they are pulling for the spaniards. the underdogs. >> this is a spanish team that feeds on emotion. they've been going to todd rogers. he's been solving it. but phil dalhausser has to keep the set off the net. >> here we go. second match point. united states could end it right here. rogers, for the win. got it! the united states hangs on! and defeats spain two sets to one. despite a gritty effort by silver medalist pablo herrera and his partner, adrian gavira. >> and he is not happy. he hasn't gone over to the officials to shake their hand. he threw his hat in disgust. going to pick it up now. >> gavira shaking hands with the officials. not sure if herrera will go there. there's gavira. herrera, and he is yelling at the officials.

and i don't blame him. it's a shame the match has to have a noncall right at the end. but the spanish players have no one to blame. i guess they do in the officials. but they stopped playing, and that's one of the cardinal rules of volleyball. continue to play until the ball is dead. >> so many times these players, they try to politic with the refs. they try to applicate their side. but the best time to do that is after the ball has been decided. the play has been decided. you can't do it in the middle of the play like that. >> so the united states hangs on. losing the first set, they rallied in set number two. and pablo herrera continues to berate the officials. one more time. let's take a look.

rogers blocked here. and he is going to scoop it up. kevin? >> right there it hits his chest and then his arm. and then you see herrera in disgust. >> so the united states gets a break. and they take advantage of it. it is still going out -- still going on here on the olympic court. spain in misery. the united states hangs on, 15-13. >> all right, chris. so a dramatic comeback win for the defending olympic champions, todd rogers and phil dalhausser at horse guards parade in beach volleyball. that'll do it for our daytime crew here in london. olympic primetime with bob costas is coming up in just about 2 1/2 hours. don't forget to download the nbc olympics app and follow this evening's broadcast on your smartphone or tablet with a primetime companion feature.

>> reporter: this should give you an idea of where we are. all sorts of pomp and circumstance for one of the most famous residents. welcome to buckingham palace. but it's the other moms and dads we're talking about. the parents of olympians. how do they feel? there's some pressure, there's some superstition, and there's a lot of pride. life moves fast at the olympics but underneath all the pa january pageantry is more. olympic parents aren't here to see the the sights. instead pray to the gods. >> i have to find a church whatever town we're in for a meet and i go there every day and do some thank you prayers and help jordyn be healthy prayers. >> jordyn as in jordyn wieber.

sent more female athletes than ever before, but it's what they have achieved so far that's making this the year of the woman. marion is live with how girl power is impacting women of all ages. >> reporter: that's right. here at airborne gymnastics many of these young athletes have olympic dreams. take a look at how talented these young girls are. many say watching women excel in so many different sports during this olympics has definitely inspired them to train harder. women are in the spotlight like never before at the summer olympics in london. from the dynamic duo of kerri walsh and misty may-treanor to the bronze medal in judo. here at airborne gymnastics, the success of female athletes is giving these girls motivation to reach even higher to achieve their goals. >> they inspired me to when i'm

having a hard day, i think of how many hard days have they had and got through it and try to do the same thing. >> reporter: the u.s. has sent more female athlete this is year than ever before. many excelling in nontraditional spo sports. >> i think what's also interesting and really important is the fact that women are doing nontraditional sports. and every time a woman does something a little above and beyond expectations that opens doors for all of us. that's fantastic. >> reporter: whether they come home with medals or not, these female athletes are sending a gold medal message about working hard and creating new opportunities for yourself.

but despite this improvement in women excelling at the olympics, not all are getting equal treatment. some have elected to fly male athletes first class and female athletes flying coach. reporting live, nbc bay area news. >> that doesn't seem fair. thanks. and to underline her point, here are two more women advancing. we told you about them yesterday. they train in east bay won their heat in the women's double skulls. the next race is the semi finals on thursday. >> in addition to the team gymnastics tonight in prime time, you'll see swimming from michael phelps and an emerging super star missy franklin too. our coverage starts at 8:00 and will be followed by bay area news right after the olympics. in other news, new details out of india where more than a half billion people are enduring the largest power outage in history.

lead can be toxic to your body and we heard about it in paint, toys, and candy. and tonight more items you wouldn't expect like your shoes and purses. the center for environmental health tested hundreds of handbags and found high levels of lead in purses and wallets.

why you can't always trust the warning labels. >> tags like this are showing up on all sorts of things. it warns that the item may contain lead. as we learned, the labels can be confusing. and in many cases, they are missing from the products with the highest amounts of lead. >> do you know what it means? you have no idea. >> reporter: we asked shoppers at dd's discounts about these warning labels. >> have you seen it before? >> reporter: the tags are attached to purses and shoes. >> have you ever bought purses from here? >> reporter: prop 65 requires businesses to notify customers about significant chemicals in the products they purchase. for these bags and sandals, the fine print warnings the item contains lead, a chemical known

to cause cancer and birth defects. but shoppers didn't notice the warnings. so we bought some of the bags and sandals and took them to a state certified lead assessor for testing. >> this reads through the pigment. it reads down through the layers. >> reporter: more on those results in a moment. >> we want this problem to be taken care of. >> reporter: the director of research at the ceh are trying to get the companies to lose the lead all together. they got hundreds of brands to agree to limit lead. but in a recent investigation, the ceh staffer found higher amounts of lead in bags sold at one in four stores they visited and they found the bags with the most lead had no warning labels. >> is it cheaper to make the items with the chemicals? >> we have seen purses at all different price levels that contain lead. >> reporter: cdc studies have

linked lead to infertilitnferti. in purses the lead is found in the brightly-colored pigments in the top layer of the material. >> you're carrying your purse around and opening it and closing it. every time you touch it, a small amount gets on your finger. imagine yourself eating a chip or putting on some lip balm. that lead is going into you. >> reporter: remember the bags we bought? the red purse -- 580 parts per million. they had lead levels above 703 parts per million. but all have warnings that say the products may contain lead. >> this can be confusing for consumers. >> yeah. >> reporter: this avid shopper is livid these products are being sold. >> i didn't realize the label was there until i got home. >> reporter: so why are the products still on store shelves? because there's no federal guidelines for how much lead is

allowed in something like a purse or a pair of shoes. >> even though the consumer product safety commission rules don't extepid to those handbags, they probably should. >> reporter: this toxicologist says it's unclear how much is too much when it comes to lead exposure. eating or breathing the metal is more dangerous than touching it. >> if you can avoid it, you should. there's no safe exposure level. >> reporter: big lots did not respond to our request for comment, but a spokesman for dd's says the company requires companies to comply with government standards. neither company is part of the agreement with ceh to limit lead in products. but for this shopper, even a trace amount of lead is too much. >> you just have to be as careful as we can. >> if you have questions about a product you bought, you can get it tested for free. the details are on our website
