BEIJING // Todd Rogers and Phil Dalhausser have completed an American clean sweep of the beach volleyball gold medals, beating Brazil in three sets. A day after Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor weathered a driving rainstorm to win their second straight gold, the men won their Olympic debuts in more typical beach weather. Dalhausser and Rogers beat Fabio and Marcio 23-21, 17-21, 15-4. Earlier today, Athens gold medallists Emanuel and Ricardo of Brazil won the bronze, beating Jorge Terceira and Renato Gomes 21-15, 21-10.
