Another contestant on the popular ABC dancing competition “Dancing With The Stars” suffers an injury during this seventh and, apparently, unlucky season. This is the first time this season when a contestant actually had do drop out of the show, due to an incident.

Olympic gold medalist volleyball player Misty May-Treanor suffered an injury on Friday while she was rehearsing the Lindy Hop with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

In an interview for People Magazine, the 31-year-old champion says she feels really bad for having to leave the show early, considering that she and her partner were doing really god, scoring 21 points out of 30 for their previous foxtrot, mambo and paso double routines and landing near the top of the pack each week. “I ruptured my Achilles tendon and from that point on I knew I couldn’t continue. I’m out and I’m really bummed. We don’t know why these things happen. They could happen to anyone. I feel like I was only just beginning here.”

Despite the obvious truth, fans of the popular reality TV show were still hoping they will get to see Misty strolling around the ballroom, but her appearance on Monday, with a cast on her left leg that went almost up to her knee, made it clear for everyone that the volleyball wonder will not be caught dancing, at least not this season.

"It felt like I got hit in the back with a baseball bat," May-Treanor told show host Tom Bergeron. "I am out of the show, but I am not out of cheering on the competitors and keeping in touch with everybody."

All in all, Misty is not the kind to give up and she is definitely a fighter. She suffered a previous knee injury from playing volleyball, but she still managed to be the winner of more tournaments than any other female player and she was named, along with her volleyball teammate Kerri Walsh "the greatest beach volleyball team of all time." The two were the gold medalists in beach volleyball at both the 2004 and 2008 Summer Olympics.

In the same interview for People, she talks about the surgery she will have later this week for her Achilles tendon and about the nine months of rehabilitation, with no dancing and no playing volleyball.“I will be back – on the volleyball court and maybe on the ballroom. I would come back to the ballroom if they asked me back.” She also says that this particular period of having time off could be a happy coincidence, as she and her professional baseball player husband Matt Treanor were planning to start a family, but just couldn’t find the time. Nine months seem like a perfect time for a new Treanor to make an appearance.

Meanwhile, it looks like “DWTS” is not a very lucky place to be in . Comic Jeffrey Ross, the first dancer eliminated, suffered a scratched cornea during a rehearsal with his partner, professional ballroom dancer Edyta Sliwinska, and had to wear an eye-patch in the competition. Other professionals, Karina Smirnoff, partnered with chef Rocco DiSpirito, twisted her ankle, while Professional dancer Derek Hough, partnered with Brooke Burke, briefly blacked out after tripping at rehearsal, but did not back out of the competition.
