There were as many cameras trained on the crowd as on the field of play as the stars turned out for the women?s beach volleyball medal games. Prince Harry shares an observation on beach volleyball with gold medal winning cyclists Jason Kenny and Laura Trott (Picture: Getty) Prince Harry, David Beckham and cycling gold medallists Jason Jenny and Laura Trott were on hand to watch Brazil?s top seeds and reigning world champions Juliana Silva and Larissa Frana beat China?s Xue Chen and Zhang Xi 11-21 21-19 15-12 to claim the bronze medal. After that, Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh-Jennings won their third consecutive Olympic beach volleyball gold with a 21-16 21-16 win over Jennifer Kessy and April Ross in an all-American final. May-Treanor, who confirmed her retirement after the match, and Walsh-Jennings have never lost an Olympic match and have only ever dropped only one set in their three Games. ?This is so special. Winning the first gold, we were young and it was sweet, but we didn?t really take it all in,? said May-Treanor. ?Winning back to back is very difficult, but to go for a ?three-peat?? you couldn?t write this script. I?m proud of the journey Kerri and I have taken.? Prince Harry?s enthusiasm for the sport of beach volleyball is well known, and it would appear that the players are quite keen on him as well. ?We?ve been tweeting Harry,? said silver medallist Ross. ?I?d just like a photo opportunity with him.?
