US Volleyball Team Knocked Up

Josh loposer — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 18:30:00 GMT

With gold medalist Kerri Walsh set to deliver her first child next month, Misty May Treanor "trying" to get pregnant, brand new mother Rachel Wacholder, and coach Danalee Bragado Corso delivering a baby last week, it's like the whole US team is awash in babies.

Kerri Walsh is due in May, and though she knows the sex of the baby, she's not telling anyone. According to her, the hardest part of the pregnancy so far has been to slow down, since she's used to kicking her butt in the gym everyday. Apparently, she intends to have at least two more babies, maybe three, while continuing to dominate beach volleyball.

“No one told me what happens to your butt and that truly frightens me. I need to get back into a Speedo!”

As for Kerri's partner Misty May, Kerri had this comment: "I know she's trying, and that's all I'll say."

Rachel Wacholder Scott (formerly Kerri's partner) and her husband Sean Scott welcomed a baby boy, Koa Daniel Scott, on April 3rd. Compound that with coach and trainer Danalee Bragado-Corso's baby last week, and the US team is having a baby invasion.

Is this going to hurt our chances for gold in the London games? Ha!

Misty May-Treanor & Kerri Walsh Get The Gold, Now They Want to Get Pregnant

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 23:05:00 GMT

Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh won their second consecutive gold medal in beach volleyball yesterday. So what's up next for the duo, who have been playing together for eight years?

Babies.

Both May-Treanor and Walsh say they want to concentrate on their personal lives, specifically starting families. May-Treanor is married to Florida Marlins catcher Matt Treanor, and Walsh is married to fellow pro volleyball player Casey Jennings. Both May-Treanor and Jennings had agreed to put off parenting plans until after the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

"I was putting everything into it as my last Games," May-Treanor said in an interview with the L.A. Times. "It's too far ahead to look ahead. I would like to come back and have my kids see me play. But I would like to start a new journey and see my husband too."

But don't count the gold medalists out just yet. "That was eight years of awesomeness and family support and love," Walsh said. "We both want to start a family. We need to slow down and breathe a little bit, focus on our families. I'm not done. I hope Misty's not done. I can't imagine playing beach volleyball without her."

Something tells me we'll be seeing these two in London in 2012, carrying diaper bags and sippy cups.

Did Nicole Kidman Get Them The Gold?

trix — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 14:01:00 GMT

Some are saying that a well timed call from Nicole Kidman pushed the Australian men to win a gold medal in 470 class sailing. I say it probably had a lot to do with the skill and determination of the men manning the boat. What do you think?

The Australian duo says they name their boats after Nicole's movies but, they believe they won their gold by skill, training and good conditions—but they were very happy to hear from her none the less.

"I was getting breakfast and thought, 'Ah, I just don't want to talk to her today,' so I bumped it, then two seconds later there was a message from Nicole wishing us good luck," the Aussie athlete said. But, like a sane person, he called her back before the race. "Yes, I ended up returning her call," Page said. "She was very happy."

Nicole is great but she doesn't have that kind of power.

Don't cheapen their gold by attributing it to someone else.

Kristi Yamaguchi on Dancing With the Stars?

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 00:54:00 GMT

Skater Kristi Yamaguchi may be taking her triple axel and turning it into a paso doble. The Olympic gold medalist is hinting that she may be a contestant on the next season of "Dancing With The Stars."

The one thing holding her back? Yamaguchi, mother to two daughters, Keara, 4 and Emma, 2, says that live audiences "really make me nervous" and that she has a fear of being judged. I guess being scored by a panel of international Olympic judges is no match for the ruthless, hard-assed crew on DWTS.
