Looks like it is an all US run for the gold. Have you seen any interaction between the two teams? Not so sure they even watch each others match.

It's kinesio tape... for injuries.

During the 2008 Olympic Summer Games in Beijing, China, volleyball player Kerri Walsh sported black tape on her shoulder. Known as kinesio taping, physical therapists utilize this tape as an alternative method to traditional white athletic tape. The tape is administered in very specific positions to reduce pain and provide support to athletes. However, kinesio tape has uses outside the sports world, including helping breast cancer patients improve lymph fluid flow through the body.

Japanese chiropractor Dr. Kenzo Kase invented kinezio tape and the kinesio taping method in the early 1980s as a means to provide support without restricting movement. While Walsh's version was black, the tape comes in a variety of colors. The tape's texture is soft and it has elastic capabilities to stretch to 120 percent to 140 percent of its original length, according to Dehen Chiropractic, a chiropractics practice that uses kinesio taping.
