Olympic gold medalist volleyball player Misty May has bowed out of 'Dancing with the Stars' after rupturing her left Achilles tendon while rehearsing.

The 31-year-old appeared at the conclusion of Monday's show on crutches, sporting a cast, to announce that she would no longer be dancing on the ABC show.

"I heard a pop (while practicing the jive). I was doing the Lindy Hop. I thought I flew out of control and hit the judges' stairs, or it felt like I got hit in the back with a baseball bat. Then, I just couldn't put weight on it."

May and her dancing partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, had done well so far in the season, but May said even though she was out of the competition, she would be cheering on her remaining competitors. Although May is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow, so don't expect to see her too soon.

Co-host Samantha Harris said that it would be announced on Tuesday what May's early exit means for the show. But if we had to guess, the most recently eliminated contestant will probably be brought back -- who just happens to be Kim Kardashian
