US women have qualified for the final of the beach volleyball — and a chance to win their third Olympic gold.

Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings beat China's Xue Chen and Zhang Xi 22-20, 22-20 on Tuesday.

The 2004 and '08 champions will play the winner of the late semifinal between Americans Jennifer Kessy and April Ross and the top-seeded Brazilians, Juliana and Larissa.

It was the 20th straight Olympic victory for May-Treanor and Walsh.
