China's Xue/Zhang wins beach volleyball bronze

8月21日，在北京奥运会沙滩排球女子3-4名决赛中，中国选手薛晨/张希以2比0战胜巴西选手雷娜塔·里贝罗/塔莉塔·罗沙，获得铜牌。

China's Zhang Xi and Xue Chen captured the beach volleyball bronze medal at the Beijing Olympics on Thursday, defeating Brazilian pair Talita Antunes/Renata Ribeiro in straight sets.

They made history for China, whose previous best Olympic finish was ninth place by Tian Jia and her then partner Wang Fei at the Athens Games.

Zhang and Xue defeated the Brazilian duo 21-19, 21-17.

"I can't believe we earned the bronze medal," said Zhang, who, along with her partner Xue, is for the first time to compete at the Olympics.
