The consecutive medal run dream is over. Todd Rogers and Phil Dalhausser fell to the youthful team of Paolo Nicolai and Daniele Lupo to a score of 21-17, 21-19. The former Gaucho, nicknamed the Professor, attacked 29 times with 11 successes and 13 digs.
Despite losing in the round of 16 to the young Italians, Rogers and Dalhausser can claim one thing that most people in the world don't have: A shiny gold medal in beach volleyball from the 2008 Olympics.
