(Oct. 6) - Olympic athlete Misty May-Treanor may be quitting 'Dancing with the Stars.'
Treanor's fellow contestant Brooke Burke claimed in an interview on an L.A. radio station that the beach volleyball player has to back out from the rest of the season due to an injury to her Achilles tendon, Usmagazine.com reports.
"It's such a sad situation. She did hurt her Achilles tendon. I don't know if she tore it or ruptured it. She's out of the competition. Just like that, it's over for her," Brooke said.

I am so sad that Misty is leaving the show. I wish her the best of luck in volleyball and with the recovery. She was so good at dancing and when she thought that she had not gotten it but she had she always made it 110% better. That is what a good athlete is. Making things that are ok BETTER then anything. I always watch Misty and Kerry. They are fabulous and I am even playing volleyball and they are giving me pointers. I wish her the best of luck and I hope to hear from her soon!

I'M GETTING TIRED OF WATCHING THAT OLD DOUCHEBAG FRAU BLUCHER DRAG HER 82 YEAR OLD ASS AROUND THE DANCE FLOOR. MISTY WAS AN ASSET TO THE SHOW AND PROVIDED AN INTERESTING CONTRAST TO THE OTHER PETITE AND DAINTY FEMALE STARS LIKE SUSAN LUCCI AND TONI BRAXTON. I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA TO HAVE MISTY'S PARTNER, KERRI WALSH, FILL IN FOR HER. ALTHOUGH SHE IS 6'3" AND MAKSIM CHMERKOWSKI IS ABOUT 5'9", IT WOULD BE ENJOYABLE TO WATCH.

Athletes today are not given well-rounded training, only single-goal oriented training. How could a "well-rounded" Olympic class athlete tear the toughest tendon in the body (while doing a dance step, none the less!)? No wonder all the old NFL players are in wheel chair with crippled knees.

I feel bad for Misty May, I know the pain she is going through I tore my Achilles tendon and the pain is something you can't explain. I had surgery to re attach the Achilles tendon and a second tendon that ripped because I walked on it for a month after breaking the Achilles. Good Luck Misty May.
