Brazil beat Wednesday the Americans in the women's beach volleyball semifinals and ended the gold medal run of three-time Olympic champion Kerri Walsh Jennings. 
Agatha and Barbara won 22-20, 21-18 to earn a matchup in the final against Germany. The best Walsh Jennings and her partner, April Ross, can do is a bronze medal when they play Brazil's other women's team on Wednesday. 
Brazilian men's team Alison and Bruno also advanced to the gold medal game by beating the Netherlands earlier Tuesday. Italy defeated Russian in the other men's semifinal. The men's final is Thursday. 
Walsh Jennings had won three gold medals with Misty May-Treanor and had never lost an Olympic match. In fact, she had only lost two sets in her Olympic career before falling in straight sets at the Copacabana venue.
