As one-half of the legendary team also starring Misty May-Treanor, Kerri Walsh-Jennings is instantly recognizable as one of the greatest beach volleyball players in the world.
Together, they’re defending Olympic champions who won gold medals in both the 2004 and 2008 games, and they’re looking to repeat their success for a third time in London this year.
Here are some of the people in the sports world celebrating birthdays on July 21:
Here are just some of the notable sports moments that happened on July 10 :
July 9, 2012 This is video of Chinese tightrope walker Aisikaier falling over 600 feet to the ground on Sunday, after attempting to walk backwards across a ravine in central China, while blindfolded.
Fireworks may have originally been a product of China, but there is nothing more American than setting these babies on fire for July 4th. Alcohol also happens to be a big part of our Independence Day traditions, and when booze is combined with firecrackers things can get pretty messy.
Talk about a die-hard — A Chinese soccer fan died in his sleep after staying awake for 11 straight days watching every Euro 2012 game. Jiang Xiaoshan finally conked out from exhaustion.
When the weather is good, and the sun is out, it’s time to start thinking about taking the family out into the American wilderness. For those of you who really want to explore the outdoors, here are some of the best campsites around, spread across the country.
June 14, 2012 This happened in Eastern China in late May.
A car smashes into five people, who were riding on one bicycle.
Apparently, the bike went through a red light, while the driver of the car drove through the intersection on yellow.
Still though, I don't think it's a good idea for five people to ride on one bicycle. And if they do, they shouldn't go through an intersection on red.
