RIO DE JANEIRO – Misty May-Treanor hasn’t watched either of Kerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross’ first two primetime Olympic matches, but she has a good reason – her 2-year-old daughter Malia.
“Eight o’clock is usually her bed time, so I’m reading to her and putting her down,” May-Treanor said in a phone interview Tuesday morning from her California home.
May-Treanor, who won gold with Walsh Jennings in 2004, 2008 and 2012 and then retired, is not competing at the Olympics for the first time since Atlanta 1996. She is not in Rio as a spectator, either.
