Misty May-Treanor News

Even Misty May-Treanor is human.

Fellow Dancing With the Stars contestant Brooke Burke has confirmed that May-Treanor will be sitting the rest of this year's competition for good, following an injury suffered during training.

"It's such a sad situation. She did hurt her Achilles tendon. I don't know if she tore it or ruptured it," Brooke said on L.A.'s 104.3 FM. "She's out of the competition. Just like that, it's over for her... She heard a pop, so it's really serious."

So, will anyone be eliminated this week in light of May-Treanor's absence? Burke said she had heard a few rumors:

"I heard [Edyta Sliwinska] and [Maksim Chmerkovskiy] may dance together since both of their partners are gone, but I don't know what's going to happen."

Guess we'll have to tune in tonight to find out.

Gold medal, schmold medal.

Does Misty May-Treanor have what it takes to conquer all on Dancing with the Stars?

The two-time Olympic volleyball champion is teaming up with Maksim Chmerkovskiy on season seven. So many women probably think May already is a winner.

As for her experience on the dancing floor, as opposed to on the beach, May-Treanor told People Magazine:

"I took a basic dance class in college, like a Dance 101, where we learned how to line dance, do ballroom and different styles, but because there were so few taller guys in the class, I had to be the guy! So I didn't learn the dances the way I wanted to."
