Kerri Walsh, Misty May-Treanor To Reunite For 2012 Olympics
SAN JOSE (CBS / AP) -- Two-time Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh of San Jose is reuniting with Misty May-Treanor to go for a third consecutive gold medal in beach volleyball, the pair announced. The women plan to begin playing again this year to qualify for the London Games in 2012, they told NBC.
The 32-year-old Walsh, a star at Archbishop Mitty and Stanford, hasn't played much since the Beijing Games after having two children. She had planned to return this year to play with Nicole Branagh of Orinda. But her longtime partner told Walsh last week that she wanted to play again.
May-Treanor, 33, and Walsh have never lost at the Olympics, winning all 28 sets of their 14 combined matches at the 2004 and 2008 Games.
