#5: Kerri Walsh Jennings & Misty May-Treanor: Dynamic Duo
Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor made history as the greatest beach volleyball duo in history. Their teamwork earned them three consecutive golds from 2004 to 2012, and they’re the only athletes to ever win three Olympic Gold medals in beach volleyball. Pretty impressive, if you ask us. May-Treanor officially retired from beach volleyball in 2012, but Walsh Jennings continues to play.
Walsh Jennings partnered up with April Ross for the 2016 Rio Games and won the bronze medal. Although she expressed her hopes of attending the 2020 Tokyo Games, she did not qualify. Both women have had incredible and successful careers as athletes and mothers, and their teamwork has gone down forever in Olympic history.
