Misty May-Treanor Olympic Gold Medalist Beach Volleyball Maksim Chmerkovskiy Withdrew on October 6, 2008 10th Place On February 16, 2008, it was officially announced that Chmerkovskiy would not be partaking in season 6 of Dancing with the Stars. He returned for the show’s 7th season, this paired with two-time Olympic gold medalist, Misty May-Treanor. Sadly, Chmerkovskiy and May-Treanor were forced to withdraw from the competition in Week 3 on October 6th, 2008. During a practice for their jive, Misty ruptured her Achilles tendon and required surgery. This withdrawal gave them a finish of tenth place. Len Goodman, head judge on the show, stated on the October 7th show that he believed she could have made it to the finals. In her honor, that night Maksim and Edyta Sliwinska performed the jive routine he had created. Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maksim_Chmerkovskiy and
