Olympic gold medal-winning volleyball player Misty May-Treanor, 31, has dropped out of ABC’s ‘Dancing With the Stars’, after tearing an Achilles tendon during Lindy Hop rehearsals held on Friday.  With an almost to her knee cast on her left leg, Treanor is scheduled for surgery on Tuesday.

A born winner, only two weeks into the competition, she scored high (21-points) each week, and was beginning to establish herself as a dancer to watch for, she has expressed interest in returning to the show sometime in the future.

This has been an injury-plagued season with many of the hit dance show participants suffering injuries from scratched corneas, twisted ankles to blacking out after tripping.
