Olympics London 2012 - The Golden Girls are reuniting - Les Golden Girls réunies de nouveau
Two-time Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh 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.
May-Treanor met with Walsh for lunch in Manhattan Beach to let her know that she wanted to play this season, the report said. May-Treanor had said he was taking 2011 off last summer.
"I'm extremely excited to partner with Kerri again, to go out and defend our Olympic gold medal and represent the United States," May-Treanor told NBC. "We feel very strongly that London will be a great Olympic Games."
Olympic qualifying for the 2012 London Games begins this year. The winningest women's duo in history will try to shake off the rust to regain their form.
Walsh has only played sparingly since their last gold-medal performance because she has given birth to two children.
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.
