Misty May-Treanor, 31, broke her left ankle on Oct. 3, Star has learned exclusively, cutting her out of the Dancing With the Stars competition completely.
The two-time beach volleyball Olympic champion suffered the injury on Friday afternoon when rehearsing with her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy at a dance studio in L.A.
She entered Cedars Sinai hospital in the late afternoon and was given a cast.
"I had problems with this ankle in March so I knew it was delicate, but I just can't believe it broke and I am off the show now!" a devastated Misty told Star.
"I will have to stay off this ankle for a long while. There is no way I can compete now. It's so sad! I really wanted to win. Now I have no chance."
Misty — dressed in a white sweatshirt and blue shorts — had been crying, but was consoled by her partner Maksim who was still wearing his workout gear of slacks and a zip-up white sweatshirt.
"These things happen," Maksim told Star.
"There is nothing you can do about it."
Misty left the Emergency Room of Cedars at 10:30 pm on crutches and in tears.
"At least I still have my gold medals," Misty said as she hobbled out of Cedars.
Misty's injury is not the first on this season of Dancing With the Stars. Comedian Jeffrey Ross suffered a corneal scratch when his dance partner Edyta Sliwinska accidentally poked his eye during rehearsal on the first week of the show.
