The Queen of Women's Beach Volleyball

How America鈥檚 Misty May-Treanor won an Olympic gold medal three times.

America鈥檚 Misty May-Treanor is the winner of three Olympic gold medals and the most successful women鈥檚 beach volleyball player of all time. Misty formed an almost unbeatable team with Kerri Walsh-Jennings, but she faced a tough personal battle at the London games in 2012, which she had decided would be her last competition because of persistent knee and Achilles tendon injuries. Misty May-Treanor talks to Jeremy Inson about her challenges on and off the court. The programme is a Whistledown Production.
