Simone Biles felt it was ‘right’ to call out MyKayla Skinner before ex-teammate’s ‘death threats’ alarm “And I think similarly to the second, I whiffed two balls out and an ace down the middle again and the game’s gone. So it’s tough. They had their foot on the gas the whole time, and maybe we let up a bit too much, not intentionally but you know it happens. Wish we could have got a few more aces too.”United States’ Kelly Cheng and Sara Hughes acknowledge the crowd after losing to Switzerland in a quarterfinal beach volleyball match.
