RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Before they took the court and won bronze, they gathered in the locker room one final time. Each player on the U.S. women's volleyball took a turn to speak.
Jordan Larson told her teammates she loved them and would fight for every one of them.
Alisha Glass made sure they all knew there was nowhere she'd rather be now than right here in Rio.
Captain Christa Dietzen? She didn't need an Olympic medal. She already understood what this tight-knit team was all about, and she also knew it sure would be nice to wear one home as she heads into retirement and prepares to start a family.
