Beach Volleyball - misty may treanor interview - espn weeken

Look at the one athlete that maybe you say, I would love to do that, or you're the most awed by, another Olympian or another sport. You know, I throw the tough ones without giving you warning.

Okay, I'll do it. If I could do gymnastics, I'm too tall, but in college I had to take a college gymnastics class. I couldn't even hoist myself on the bar because I have too long of levers. Like, I couldn't do, I couldn't do that.

So it's kind of a don't in gymnastics, so that'd be kind of hard to change, but I'd love to try.
