April Ross, a beach volleyball player in the US, is among a select group of women who have won medals in multiple Olympics. Alix-Klineman will compete with April Ross Tokyo for her third gold medal over the next few days. Ross will also be hoping for her very first Olympic medal. Perhaps this is her only opportunity, given that she is 39 years old. Nevertheless she is confident that winning the gold medal is at hand.

Margie Ross was never able to witness her daughter's rise to the beach volleyball spotlight. Ross's mom Margie passed away in 2001 when Ross was still an USC sophomore. She had breast cancer. This meant that Ross continues to be close to her parent who died. Margie is a source of inspiration throughout her life, as well as on the beaches.
