My Take
Misty May-Treanor is, plainly, one of the greatest beach volleyball players ever, and the numbers settle the argument: three Olympic golds and 112 career tournament wins. What I admire most is the venue she conquered. Sand is the cruelest surface in the sport, punishing the legs, the eyes, and any lapse in partnership. To dominate there for years takes a complete athlete, mentally and physically. You could see the trajectory early, back to her 1999 Honda Sports Award. Even retired, she radiates the kind of sunlit competitive joy that suits a beach. To me she is an uncomplicated, towering legend.
