China wins bronze at Beach Volleyball Worlds China's Wang Fei and Tian Jia snatched the bronze medal at the Beach Volleyball World Championships in Berlin, Germany. They beat Cuba's Dalixia Fernandez Grasset and Tamara Larrea Peraza 21-13, 21-17 to give China its first world championship medal. Wang played with a torn thigh muscle that had forced the fifth-seeded Chinese to abandon their semifinal against Americans Misty May and Kerri Walsh. The Cubans led 9-7, but the Chinese rallied to score seven points and secured the bronze medal. The Chinese pair had ousted Brazil's second-seeded Shelda Bede and Adriana Behar to reach the last four. Defending champion May and Walsh reclaimed the gold medal after beating their Brazilian opponents 21-27, 21-27 in the final.
