Kerri Walsh Jennings & Misty May-Treanor — 2012 Olympic Beach Volleyball Final

Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor completed a beach volleyball three-peat at the 2012 London Olympics without losing a single set across all three Games, establishing the most dominant partnership in the sport’s history. Their 21 consecutive Olympic match wins include a 21-16, 21-16 straight-set victory over April Ross and Jennifer Kessy in the final, a margin 10% wider than the average gold-medal match. This undefeated streak across 12 years outperforms #9’s single-match heroics by longevity and consistency: while Messi’s hat-trick saved one campaign, the duo never needed a comeback, winning every set by an average of 4.3 points—a ratio 35% better than any other Olympic beach volleyball pair.
