Misty May-Treanor

Sportswoman Misty May-Treanor retired from professional beach volleyball in 2016 after a 17-year career that began in 1999. Over that span, she won 112 tournaments in domestic and international play, making her the most successful female beach volleyball player as of August 2012. She collected three Olympic gold medals in beach volleyball, all alongside teammate Kerri Walsh Jennings, at the 2004, 2008, and 2012 Summer Olympics. The duo also claimed the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships in 2003, 2005, and 2007. They set a win streak of 112 consecutive matches, which included 19 consecutive tournament titles, in 2007-2008. That streak broke their own prior record of 89 consecutive wins. Many have called them "the greatest beach volleyball team of all time."
