According to the AP, Walsh went up for a block at some point during the match and the ring flew off her hand. Fortunately, some broadcasters noticed what had happened, and were able to go back to the tape to show officials where they thought the ring might be. Unfortunately, there was 17,000 tons of sand that gets raked between matches. After the day's matches had finished, however, volunteers combed the area with metal detectors and eventually found the missing band. In case you were wondering, Walsh and May won their match.
