Misty May-Treanor and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy perform the Mambo on ABC’s hit-series “Dancing with the Stars” during the first week. May-Treanor was forced to withdraw and have surgery to repair a torn Achilles’ tendon in her left leg she suffered during rehearsals last Friday. “I was like, ‘OK, I’m an athlete. Tape it up and get back out there,’” May-Treanor said in a release issued by USA Volleyball. “I never thought in a million years, especially in ballroom, that I would hurt myself.”
