DANCING WITH THE STARS - MISTY MAY HAS SURGERY FOR DANCE INJURY

MISTY MAY HAS SURGERY FOR DANCE INJURY

Olympic volleyball star MISTY MAY-TREANOR is recovering after an ankle injury forced her to pull out of U.S TV talent show DANCING WITH THE STARS.
The two-time Olympic gold medal winner damaged her Achilles tendon during rehearsals for the hit programme on Friday (03Oct08).
She was forced to cancel her run on the show, and is resting up at home after surgery on Tuesday (07Oct08) to repair the injury.
Her spokesperson tells Usmagazine.com, "Thanks for all your concern and well wishes for Misty. I wanted to let you all know Misty had a successful surgery on her ruptured Achilles this morning. She is currently at home recovering. Her husband, Matt, is with her."
May-Treanor appeared on crutches and with her leg in a cast at the end of the show on Monday (06Oct08), telling viewers: "I heard a pop. I was doing the Lindy Hop. I thought I flew out of control and hit the judges' stairs, or it felt like I got hit in the back with a baseball bat. Then, I just couldn't put weight on it."
Her dance partner on the show, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, added: "This whole thing is really sad."
