Beach volleyball, Kerri Walsh, 31, is expecting her second baby with her husband Casey Jennings. The two time Olympic gold medalist is preparing another baby and set her way to gold once again at 2012.
“I’m pregnant again so I’m taking this year off,” Walsh reveals to Universal Sports. “And Misty is going to be playing with a different partner,” Walsh adding.
“My due date is May 30, so end of May I’ll be taking care of my family and starting to creep back into shape and I’ll be ready for the 2011 season. My hope and my plan is for Misty and I to get back together and be better than ever.”
Well it’s the first time for Misty May-Treanor to play with someone other than Walsh since 2001.
“I’m definitely a little jealous but I’m really excited for her,” Walsh said. “I know she’s going to kick butt and it’ll be a great team to root for. And also be motivating because I want my partner back.”
She says the switch is only temporary, “My hope and plan is for Misty and I to get back together and be better than ever,” she says. “The goal is to play together and win in 2012, to win an Olympic gold medal.”
“Part of the challenge of coming back this year was to make sure that I could do it and I did physically. And once I can wrap my head around it mentally, then I know I’ll be a better player than ever before.”
No doubt she can do that, just like her amazing bounce back, only after 2 months gave a birth a son, Joseph Michael, on May 22, she was back in bikini and competing on the AVP tour.
Congrats!
