Misty & Kerri - Another Streak Bites the Dust

On a post-Olympic gold medal high and riding a media frenzy wave, Misty and Kerri rolled into Cincy hoping to extend their 100+ match win streak. After winning their first four matches, they faced their Olympic counterpar team and arch rival on the AVP tour in the final. In a closely contested three-game match, these golden goddesses fell to Elaine Youngs and Nicole Branagh (5th place in Beijing) in a lengthy match that came close to setting a record. What are the reasons for their surprising loss:

a) After realizing their long sought after dream of a second gold medal, this AVP event was anticlimactic
b) Misty was distracted by practicing with her professional dance partner for the upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars!
c) Both have visions of leaving the AVP tour to start families in 2009
d) All of the above!
