The 21-14, 21-16 loss to the Qatari team of Cherif Younousse and Ahmed Tijan in the quarterfinals on Wednesday made it the first American medal shutout since the sport was added to the Olympic program at the 1996 Atlanta Games.
Miles Partain and Andy Benesh couldn't stop the slide so the United States is leaving beach volleyball at the Paris Olympics without a medal for the first time.
Benesh said the lack of American medals in the sport at the Paris Games was not necessarily because of a drop in the team's level, but more because the general standard of play has gone up.
