Kerri Walsh

Last night, history was made twice.  Not only was it the first time a Pro beach Volleyball team won back-to-back Gold medals at the Olympics when Misty May and Kerri Walsh were victorious, but it was also the first time anyone actually cared about Pro Beach Volleyball. And they did it in the rain, no less.  What kind of beach volleyball match takes place in the rain?  And why did the men's team get to play inside?  And most importantly, why do I care? Well, I care because, for my money, Misty May is probably one of the best athletes I have ever seen.  I'm ... Read Full Story

So I've been taking in a whole lot of the Olympics, I mean who hasn't?, and I've gotta say one of the most entertaining sports to watch so far is the Beach Volleyball. Why I hear you asking - because they're a bunch of sexy women jumping around in very skimpy bikinis? Well no...well not completely anyways - it doesn't hurt to be sure - but really the attraction for me has been watching the extraordinary performance of the amazing American duo - Misty May and Kerri Walsh. They are killers! Just demolishing the competition - adding to their on-going ridiculous string of international ... Read Full Story

Thursday, Aug 14, 2008 1:25 pm EDT The mystery of the black stuff on Kerri Walsh's shoulder By Chris Chase "My friend said she's covering up a tattoo." "The black tape might be a tribute to somebody." "It IS a tattoo." "Tape. It's some sort of medical tape." "That's actually a Nike swoosh." Everyone has an opinion about what that black stuff is on Kerri Walsh's shoulder: some are right, most are wrong. But that's why we're here, to separate the fact from the fiction. After some Phelps-like domination in solving our first three mysteries, Fourth-Place Medal's Investigative Unit (FPMIU) will today tackle the ... Read Full Story

Tattoo? Symbiote? For the longest time I thought the black sinewy thing on Olympic beach volleyball player Kerri Walsh's shoulder was either a confused Alien face sucker, a horny spider, a bad tattoo decision (a la Mike Tyson), or all of the above. Turns out I was way off, and it's actually Kinesio athletic tape from a company in Albuquerque. And upon further inspection, the hype surrounding the $15 tape appears justified, and goes way beyond helping athletes. In addition to gracing the shoulder of one of America's finest looking athletes, the Kinesio tape also boasts magical properties, like the ability to assist and ... Read Full Story

I sheepishly admit I forgot to post this story yesterday, but with my love for beach volleyball I must make amends. Super sweet Beach Volleyball goddess Kerri Walsh and husband Casey Jennings also a beach pro are pregnant with their first child. In an interview with Access Hollywood and The Billy Bush Show, Walsh said she’s 16 1/2 weeks pregnant, and that, “We believe we conceived during our last days in Beijing, or about a couple of days after we won the gold medal.”  She added that, “I don’t want to get into all of the details.” Actually if she’s 16 1/2 weeks along ...
