Colorado Springs, CO -- (Sports Network) - Two-time Olympic beach volleyball gold medalist Misty May-Treanor underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a ruptured left Achilles tendon.

May-Treanor suffered the injury Friday during a rehearsal for the popular "Dancing With the Stars" competition.

"I heard a pop," said May-Treanor, who was practicing in the show's ballroom with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy when the injury occurred. "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."

Despite the injury, May-Treanor doesn't expect it will interfere with her volleyball career.

"I was planning on taking time off next year anyway," she said. "Ultimately this is a perfect time if this was going to happen. It didn't throw a wrench into any of the plans that we had."
