Olympic athletes often don't get paid to do anything other than look good. In that vein, Attractive Olympians handicaps which athletes may rake in endorsement deals after the Olympics.In Athens in 2004, Misty May-Treanor and teammate Kerri Walsh won the gold medal in women's beach volleyball without losing a single set through seven matches. The two became a historically dominant force on the AVP, marked by the lanky Walsh's imposing defense at the net and May-Treanor's tenacious digs and perfectly honed all-around play. May-Treanor is the #1 player in the world, has 31 pro titles to her name, and owns world records for most consecutive matches (90) and tournaments (15) won.
Sure, she may be the winningest female in beach volleyball player in history, but more importantly: is she attractive? Will she bring home the gold in endorsements?
After the jump, enjoy more photos, striking in-depth analysis, and the ever-important poll to superficially determine her worth.

4. May-Treanor is a great athlete, one of the best female athletes in the world in any sport, but no, she's not hot unless you're drawn to flat-chested women with muscles from head to toe.

5. Both Misty May and Kerri are great athletes and people. If you have the opportunity to see an AVP event you will amazed by their skill and athleticism on the sand and their friendliness off the sand. I have been following them for years. You can see more of beach volleyball at either one of my sites. http://bestdigitalshots.blogspot.com or http://bestdigitalshots.com
