of the glasses. >> another little message on the left hand, you've got a little joy tonight. >> good overhead look at the olympic stadium. it's been a long day of volleyball. started at 10:00 a.m. and here we are, still going at 1:00 p.m. local time. and the americans are going to take time out. >> kerri and april, after jumping out to a big lead, they hit a lull. and give credit to the australians. >> we have mentioned that kerri walsh jennings, one of a select crew that have three olympic golds. of course kiralley.
12:01 am
misty and kerri. karch is the head coach of the u.s. women's national team, very powerful, a chance for a medal there. he labeled the project the quest for gold. the u.s. women's team had never won a gold medal. >> 10-8, the united states, after putting away the australians in the first set. struggling a bit here as ross puts it away. >> really nice adjustment here from april ross. that was a play, up the middle the last couple of plays. kerri walsh jennings had a little bit of trouble that time. the shoulder looking the best we've seen all year long. >> both april and kerri of course outstanding indoor players. kerri at stanford, april ross at
12:02 am
usc. now laird. and laird puts it away. >> interesting decision. they had so much success against artacho. >> even when laird doesn't quite hit it through, she just has different angles to work with. >> good serve, ross has it. and ross puts it away. so it's a technical time out. >> we talk about the evolution of women. look at the vision, she's watching the ball, seeing where the location is. then she turns that vision to the hitter. early in her career she would center up. she would go straight up and down. now you're starting to see more complex moves. you're seeing a lot more because
12:03 am
of that, a lot of blocks. >> kerri walsh had four in the first set. very widely considered the best blocker in the world. >> these two, both have "a" personalities, talking about walsh jennings and ross. sometimes that can be good. >> april ross, trotting back to her defensive position. >> kerri and april heavy favorites in their pool. hopped up. pushed over. artacho has it. and it's popped up by ross. april right to artacho. she guessed right. coming in and she bopped it out. united states dropping at the right time.
12:04 am
another similarity that april and misty have. this is amazing. they both went to newport harbor, both played for danny glenn. he said their similarities, they were able to make their teammates better. he said since then they're willing to give back whenever i ask. >> a long rally going to the united states. it's 13-9. and that's on the line. nice play by laird. >> so the united states in their group, the united states, china, then the swiss, and australia. so not a killer pool, but certainly a competitive one that will test the americans. they'll try to hold their seed. as ross goes crosscourt.
12:05 am
>> i think the story line is to attack kerri walsh jennings. you get the impression she wants them to have that challenge. >> and another block. that's six for walsh jennings. >> the sport of beach volleyball is interesting in that the other team gets to pick their point. it's a little bit like red rover. now teams are going after her. >> couldn't figure that out, for ten years teams served misty may trainor and all they did was win. now kerri on the right, and a little two-step. we'll see if they count that as another block. yes, seven. here in this match, artacho is doing a good job.
12:06 am
she's running left and right. it's got to be so frustrating, because even when kerri is late, the reach makes the right spot. >> watch the hitter. hold your feet, hold your hands. get over the net as far as you can. now artacho trying again, and she spins it down the line. >> the australians have really responded with how they looked nervous early in this match. you're seeing some of that spunk, a lot of success. the team that will have a lot of success moving forward. >> nicole laird. serving kerri. and kerri off the hands, into the court. another point. so 17-11. kerri has 11 kills, seven blocks. ross, ten kills, nine digs. a good balance for the new version of the golden girls, perhaps. kerri lets it fly down the line.
12:07 am
laird, kerri. off speed. try it again. kerri on the left. her own position. and she puts it away. a very long wait for tonight for kerri walsh jennings. >> just watching that play, you could hear in the stadium with this loud crowd, april ross directing traffic. hit it short, hit it deep, hit it line. kerri walsh jennings finishes the play with exactly that line shot. >> communication between the two has really improved in the last year. early on, they had trouble communicating. and kerri on two, wraps it all. >> 19-11. the united states leading by 8.
12:08 am
here is set number two. artacho flies it through. artacho grew up as a beach volleyball prodigy. not so much for laird. >> first tournament together, though, wins in the olympic teams from russia and the czech republic. >> potential there. ross and walsh jennings are there right now. april scores point number 20. and the first match point is coming up. the crowd stands. final match of the night. april ross will serve for the win. down the line she goes. artacho. she squeezes it inside. kerri was mad. she didn't block that one.
12:09 am
>> that reaction will tell you everything about kerri walsh jennings. it's not about the win. it's about being in the moment. >> every contact, and the americans have done that tonight. now second match point. united states trying to wrap it up. kerri for the win. not yet. artacho with the dig. april ross. hammers it home. and that will do it. an impressive start to the united states squad of kerri walsh jennings and april ross. 21-14, 21-13. they are 1-0 in the pool. aussies drop to 0-1. right now, back to the studio and bob costas. >> all right, chris. coming up on 1:10 a.m., and we are done for now. but tomorrow or later today, if you wish to be technical, big stars will abound in prime time. simone biles, katy ledecky, michael phelps. they'll all be in action. that does it for us.
