Triumph
over
Brazil
 Marseille,
France, July 20, 2003 - America's Misty May and Kerri
Walsh won their second gold medal of the 2003
SWATCH-FIVB World Tour on Sunday when they destroyed
Brazil's Ana Paula Connelly and Sandra Pires Tavares in
the final of the $300,000 Marseille Grand Slam.
In a surprisingly one-sided final, the Americans
produced a near-flawless performance to secure the
$40,000 winners' cheque with a 21-10, 21-13 victory that
ended the Brazilians' domination of women's Beach so far
this season.
