LOS ANGELES (AP) Two-time Olympic beach volleyball gold medalist Misty May-Treanor had surgery to repair a torn Achilles' tendon on Tuesday, a day after she said she was dropping out of TV's "Dancing with the Stars."
May-Treanor appeared at the conclusion of Monday's show on crutches and with a cast on her left leg to announce that she injured herself while rehearsing on Friday and would withdraw from the popular dancing competition.
"I was like, 'OK, I'm an athlete. Tape it up and get back out there,' " she said in a release issued by USA Volleyball. "I never thought in a million years, especially in ballroom, that I would hurt myself."
