Misty's Blog - Gold Medal!!!

Well everyone…...We Did It!!! Kerri and I won the gold. It has been an amazing experience. I couldn’t believe all of the fans that turned out for our final match. Even with the consistent downpour, the crowd stuck it out and helped provide so much energy for the festive event. I was so happy to be supported by both family and fiends. I even had some surprises along the way. My second cousin Brooke and her mom Tina found me after the finals as I was doing media. When I saw from afar that two people were wearing my “record 73” shirts I couldn’t’ believe it. As I got closer I realized it was them. I couldn’t make contact with them and made the gesture for them to call me…...later would I find out that it caused such a phenomenon. Who knew. Anyways, Tina and Brooke sorry we missed each other, I will catch up with you in the states. Thank you my sponsors and everyone that supported Kerri and I through the journey. Now, all I want to do is to see my husband who I haven’t seen in over a month! That would be great!!!! Talk to you very soon and see you back on the AVP.

On behalf of the Special Olympians from Hamilton County Special Olympics I want to thank you for a great day at the AVP on Friday, Aug. 29. Our athletes and coaches had a wonderful time. They were so excited about getting to watch you and Kerri play. And then, to meet you was the highlight of their day. What great memories they will have of this day – talking with you, getting their picture taken with you, getting their “turtle” shirt signed by you and holding your gold medal!
They are all excited about watching you and Max on Dancing with the Stars. Everyone from HCSO will be voting for you!
You are #1 in our hearts!!!

Congratualions in the Olympics and wining the gold. I wish you the best of luck with dancing with the stars and I hope to see you play live in the future.

Wendy Hu | on 29/8/08

Hey Misty! Congratulations! You and Kerri are like my greatest fans. Though I couldn’t make it for the Beijing Olympic Games, I was watching all your games on television. I also play volleyball for my school’s indoor team. You and Kerri are my next inspiration for beach volleyball! I wish you the best of luck on your journey and same with Kerri. Once again, Congratulations! I would love it if you could please email me back. Thanks alot! Best wishes for you!

Michele | on 28/8/08

I love volleyball and I have watched you play for many years. I was so glad when you and Kerri hooked up. I truly think you are the greatest beach volleyball team ever! Congrats on your repeat Gold Medal! I told someone the other day that I think you and Kerri would be some of the funnest friends to have! lol Thanks for being a great person on and off the court!

Cindy | on 27/8/08

You two are awesome!!! On the court and off. My teenage daughters and I have become huge fans!! Your inspiration on the court is equaled by the character you off of it. We saw you thank the president after the gold metal match and then honor him again on Letterman. Thank you – I also believe he is a great man. Best wishes to you and your families.

Albert Yang | on 27/8/08

I was able to attend both the semi-final match against Brazil and your Gold Medal match against China in Beijing, and I was truly inspired watching you two play. And cheering you two on in the rain was well worth every minute!! You may or may not even remember, but thanks so much for hanging around afterwards and signing my red/white/blue volleyball after the semifinal match. It really meant alot to me and it’s an experience I will never forget!!

NOTHIN COMPARES TO MISTY AND KERRI. ONE WORD SUMS IT UP….....WOW!!!!!!!

tom petronzio | on 26/8/08

Misty, I became a bigger fan of beach volleyball by watching you and your teammates effort in beijing. Your defense and athleticism are amazing. We live in a northeast beachtown, All summer, Great American Volleyball has had nets up on weekends.The Sat. after one of your prelim matches. The signups were mobbed. I walk the beach almost everyday and never saw the crowds at GAVB like i did that day and GAVB has been there every wknd since mem day. The sport already had popularity but you and Keri made it household. Start your family, enjoy yourself and see you in London 2012. Our hometown girl Soccer Player Christie pearce Rampone sandwiched a kid between back to back golds. CONGRATS! TOM TAP

Valerie | on 26/8/08

Wow we got such a thrill from watching you and Kerri and cheering you on! You are an amazing team and seem to be awesome women also! Proud to have you represent our country….you did us proud!

Paul J. Chaknis | on 26/8/08

Great job Misty and Kerri. I did not miss you two one time when you were on the court. Both played good as a team. Love to have an autograph from you two very special olympians,,,

Jerry | on 26/8/08

Difficult to put into words the excitement both myself and my wife felt watching you and Kerri playing in China. We were both so proud and felt so good to see you win the gold. BTW we are both HUGE DWTS fans so we are really looking forward to your skills out on the floor.

amy logan | on 26/8/08

Misty, you and Keri are the hottest thing since the sun. I never really watched beach volleyball until now. You have made me a fan. Thank you for representing the USA!!!Congrats on winning the gold and I’ll be rooting for you on Dancing with the Stars.

Joe Ticson | on 25/8/08

Sob, sob, sob….the Olympics are over?? Nooooooo! How about a schedule posted on your website so we can catch you playing in FL sometime? That would be SWEET!

Kim | on 25/8/08

You guys are awsome congrats on everything

Zuzelle Espinosa | on 25/8/08

Misty & Kerri,

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You were absolutely fantastic during the games and you deserve to have that gold medal around your necks. I am extremely proud of you both as if you were a part of my family. I am originally from Cuba but I came to the States when I was jut eleven years old. I lived in Miami, Florida since then until I moved to Maryland a year ago. I never liked baseball or watched an entire game until the Florida Marlins got to the World Series in 1997 and then they beat the all-mighty Yankees in 2003 and I was never interested in Beach Volleyball until the Athens Games when you guys rocked!! You cannot imagine how much I adore the United States of America that is why I feel so proud of you. Kerri, it took a lot of courage to thank the President so openly on live tv. A man who I feel has been overly critized. I thought it was a great gesture on his part to go and spend some time with the US athletes in Beijing yet the mainstream media likes to spin it another way. I am glad to see that you appreciated what he did because I believe that in the end history will judge him correctly. Well, you’ve got my e-mail. If you are ever in Maryland let me know. I would love to meet and congratulate you personally. Thank you for the opportunity of sending a note. I love you both and enjoy your new babies, whenever you have them. God Bless You Both!!!!!

Lynn | on 25/8/08

think I got lopped off for some reason….just wanted to let you know that you two are the very BEST........in all that you do….....I applaude you both for wanting to start a family and I do hope you can do that as well as continue in volleyball.
Keep up the great work and the great inspiration.
Lynn

Liz | on 25/8/08

Misty! You were AMAZING to watch at the Olympics! Your determination and zeal for life is infectious and I could not be more excited to watch you “bust the move” on the dance floor with Max in a few weeks. You have my vote already – eventhough I have never seen you dance I am assuming that your spunky personality will make you fun to watch. GOOD LUCK!

J.P. Lowe | on 25/8/08

Misty:

I wasn’t a beach volleyball fan before this Olympic Games, but you and Kerri made a fan out of me! It was a true pleasure watching you girls win the gold, which you truly earned and deserve.

In a day when so many sports stars are arrogant and brash, you and Kerri are models of professionalism, grace and dignity. I commend you and your partner for your stellar athletic performance and for representing the U.S. so well on the world stage. God bless you both, on and off the beach.

Best wishes to you and good luck on “Dancing With the Stars”!

Robert Valentine | on 25/8/08

Hi Misty,
Just like to say congratulations to you and Kerri, i like alot of others here used to play volley ball at school, just watching your finals match inspired me to ‘tune in’ to the AVP web site which i think is great!! Love to see you both play in London in 2012,which is’nt too far from where i live.
Love Mark xxx

Jen Root | on 25/8/08

Diori R. Jones | on 25/8/08

I apologize to Kerri Walsh. I forgot the second “r” on her name. KERRI Walsh.

Kimberly Johnson | on 24/8/08

Saw you at the baseball game today. Poor girl! You just wanted to spend your time relaxing and watching your hubby and his team win. I wanted so much to come talk to you, but thought best to leave you to your day with friends. We were sitting just a couple rows in front of you. You were being swarmed when folks realized you were there.
Congrats to you and Kerri winning gold and congrats to you being reunited with hubby and his win today against the Dbacks. And thanks for being an inspiration/role model to my kids.

Susan Pfeifer | on 24/8/08

It is terrific to see all of the hard work and long days pay off for you…congratulations on your double gold! To excel under the extra pressure to repeat – you two were awesome to watch throughout the tournament. Best wishes for what ever path you take from here. Your children will have the opportunity to hear some amazing stories from your career – when ever you chose to end it…Best wishes to you and your husband as you move on from here!

Marie Icon. | on 24/8/08

Misty,

I just want to say congrats on obtaining the Gold medal! It is such a big accomplishment, you two were the highlight of the my Olympic experience. It’s because of you and Kerri I know that dreams CAN come true!

T.L | on 24/8/08

Misty! I can’t wait to see you play at the San Francisco AVP tour on September 14th. I remember watching you since I was a little girl. My grandmother and family absolutely adores you. Will you be available for autographs after the games? It would mean a lot if I could bring a photo home to her. You are so great and inspiring Misty, I can’t wait to see you!

Rick | on 24/8/08

Great job! I really enjoyed your matches this year. Get some rest!

Dane | on 24/8/08

Congratulations! These past olympics really turned me into a beach volleyball fan. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Kerri and yourself bring home the gold. I hope to see you sometime on the AVP tour. Get some rest. You deserve it!
-Dane

Shari Prosser | on 24/8/08

Hey Misty: We are so very proud of you. Coming to Santa Barbara on 9/6 and bringing Staci with us. She’d love to say hi. Hope we can find you and you aren’t too mobbed. Hope you enjoy your time with hubby. Ken & Shari Prosser (Matt’s parents)

Derryk | on 24/8/08

Hey Misty,

I never watched volleyball before, but after seeing you and Walsh play…i was amazed. I loved watching you and Walsh thoughout the olympics. Before i knew it i was canceling plans just to watch you two play. Great job on taking the gold. CONGRATS!!!

Your new fan,
Derryk

Carol Anne Koehl | on 24/8/08

Congratulations Misty! I am yet another proud cousin from San Antonio who stayed up late Wed. night to watch you & Kerri play in the rain to win the Gold. Actually, I met you when you were just a toddler at a park near San Francisco in July of 1979 where your grandmother, Mele May, hosted a family reunion for her children and grandchildren, so I could meet my California cousins.
Your relatives in South Texaas are so pleased for you. Best wishes in all your future endeavors. Fondly, Carol Anne

Derryk Downey | on 24/8/08

Congratulations! You guys were by far the hardest working and most talented team!

Daneen Petty | on 24/8/08

I don’t even like sports.

I watched the Olympics because, well, EVERYONE watches the Olympics—-and I got so caught up in your games that I was absolutely FEVERISH to see how this ended. Aside from the fact that you made us proud with both skill and sportsmanship——you made those the most exciting games I’ve ever watched! Congratulations, I’m so happy for you two!!!

WOOT! from Las Vegas~ Daneen

Thanks for coming out to the D-backs/Marlins game and bringing your gold medal. You deserved the applause you received.

Denise | on 23/8/08

My daughter thinks that the angel wings tattoo with your moms initals is a wonderful tribute. Is there a detailed photo somewhere? We saw it fairly close-up after your gold medal match, but haven’t found a close-up photo! Your love of your family is as wonderful to see as watching you play volleyball – thank you for setting a wonderfully positive example!

John Stroud | on 23/8/08

Misty,

Congratulations on winning the gold medal . I want to wish you and Kerri good health until the next summer games in London.

Jo Anne Quillian Horne | on 23/8/08

Hi Misty,
You are my second cousin, once removed. Yeah, that sounds weird. I am a genealogy nut. Your great-grandfather Lucius (Lute) Bellinger was the little brother of my grandmother Wenona Bellinger Bennack. There is a whole cheering section for you down here in Texas. We’re all so proud of you. And we look forward to your producing some descendants to add to the family tree.
Affectionately,
Jo Anne Horne

Alysia | on 23/8/08

Hope you girls are still partying your hearts out and enjoying that gold medal around your neck ;). Keep up the celebrating. I got to say…....Watching the Olympics now is just not the same without watching you two dominate on the beach. Kinda boring now without ya’s. :(. Again words cannot describe how happy and proud I am of you two. I mean I too play beach and indoors (10yrs now), but if I could play 1/2 as good as you both…I’d be happy with that. Well there is really only one thing left to say…...PAAAAAAAAAAARTY!!!!!!!! :):):)
I know you are….ha haaaa :D:D:D:D
See you girls on the beach and hope to see ya’s kick butt and dominate on the beach some day….Keep your fans posted. Look forward to the updates.
Big hugs!!
;)

Jason Cunningham | on 23/8/08

Congrats on the gold medal! You girls did such an amazing job on representing the U.S. I’m so very proud. I’m just a carpenter, but I enjoyed watching the games even though I stayed up way to late. I hope the weather in Florida is getting better. I wish every one down there the best of luck.

Ashley | on 23/8/08

I’m so proud! I had to watch every match! I used to play volleyball and to this day I miss it! It was very exciting to watch you and Kerri play! You are a good role model for people! Great Job on all your wins!!!

Ashley | on 23/8/08

I played volleyball in school and I miss it very miss. Ever since I was in school I have always love to watch you play! It was awesome to watch you volleyball! I have to watch every match that is on tv. I hope one day to get the chance to watch you in person. I’m so excited that you won!

Gwen | on 23/8/08

I grew up playing volleyball and still love the sport to this day. My first memory of watching beach volleyball was during the Gabriele Reese days. I watch every AVP TV event that I can and your matches were the only constant thing I tuned in for at these Olympics. Congrats on your 2nd gold and thank you (and Kerri) for being positive role models to not only other volleyball players but females in general. I am going to the AVP in Mason, Oh next weekend with my mom and I hope that I get to see you guys play!

Cathy | on 23/8/08

You girls were GREAT!!! Most exciting Olympics ever…2 time back to back winners. Way to Go!!!!!!!

Rich | on 23/8/08

I had rarely watched beach volleyball before. Going for the gold is an obvious goal, but the journey of going through the matches was truly amaing. To watch the 2 best players ever do their thing was my highlight of the 2008 Olympics. The extras of watching you guys, seemingly the best of friends, having a great time winning together is what sports should be all about.

Tracey Trembeczki | on 23/8/08

You are such an inspiration to my daughter. At just 14 years old, my daughter is 5 foot 9 and is currently trying out for the Freshman High School Volleyball team. She loves to watch your matches and is very inspired by both you and Carrie Walsh. Keep up all the good work!!

Fahad | on 23/8/08

I hope you and Kerri in a good health and I want to congratulate you for the golden medal you really deserve the not only the gold but also the diamond.

I hope you a great life and another future victories

Thanks for making us enjoy the olympic games

Best Wishes

118, 119 OK OK you get the idea.. keep em on their toes. I could only imagine the adrenaline pump
of being in the games, just watching was powerful
loved every microsecond of it.

Sandra | on 22/8/08

Congratulations! I just wanted to say that I am happy that my girls, who are 9 and 11, have such a great selection of women as role models. As a teenage girll and young adult, volleyball and softball were how I spent every spare minute, but I didn’t know the names of any women in the sports. I am going to make sure my kids do. We are going to the tournament in Glendale and hope to watch you there but understand completely if it is vacation time.

Rockin Roger | on 22/8/08

I am a new fan to the sport,thanks to you two.I started watching you & Kerri on the regular AVP games and then all through the Olympics.Congrats and may you have healthy babies that grow up to play beach volleyball as well as both of you.

Wish you the best and can’t wait for you and Kerri to each have a next generation of volleyball players!!!!

Katie | on 22/8/08

GREAT JOB Misty and Kerri! Watching you two tear up the sand was awesome! I watched every match and truely came to LOVE beach volleyball!

I hope to attend some AVP events and will definitely keep up with the tour on TV when it is on…I have to admit, before I was more a channel flipper when it was on.

Good Luck on the next chapter of your life…and hopefully we’ll see you and Kerri goin’ for a three-peat in London come 2012!

Aaron | on 22/8/08

Katie Cox | on 22/8/08

Misty,
Congrats on the second gold!!! I love to watch you two play, and have been a fan for years. I remember watching you play at Long Beach State when I was in high school. You have improved so much over the years it has been fun to watch you. I want to say thanks for, your passion and talent for the sport, it really motivated me when I played in High School and College (I was never the best player). But best wishes and luck in all you do professional and personal. Keep playing we like it when you come to Colorado.
A BIG FAN
