April Ross and
Alix Klineman were back in action for their second match of the Tokyo Games on Tuesday morning. They faced Spain's
Elsa Baquerizo and
Liliana Fernandez in Pool B play.
It was the first time that the beach volleyball competition saw less-than-ideal conditions as it was raining during the match and the players battled winds from Tropical Storm Nepartak. The weather didn't seem to impact the pair too much as they easily took care of business defeating Spain in straight sets, 21-13, 21-16.
