Full Kerri Walsh Biography
In the 2000 Summer Olympics, she played indoor volleyball, where the United States team finished in fourth place. In the 2004 Summer Olympics, Walsh and Misty May won the gold medal for women's beach volleyball for the American team. Winning an unprecedented ninety-one matches and 16 tournaments in a row, Walsh and May captured the gold without ever losing a game. Currently Walsh is ranked as the best female volleyball player in the world, and as of 2005 the Kerri Walsh-Misty May duo appear to be almost unstoppable on both the AVP and FIVB Beach Volleyball tours. Further into the future, she is likely to participate in the 2008 Beijing Olympics as a strong seed to win a second gold medal. As beach volleyball is a sport where athletes can perform effectively well into their 30's, such a prediction is within reason.
Walsh has also emerged over time as being a somewhat unlikely sex symbol, as in spite of her fitness and bikini-clad attire, such a label has in the past mostly been used about women of a less lanky stature. At 6 ft, 2 inches (1.91 m) tall, she easily towers over most men, sometimes to a striking degree. In addition, the circulation of numerous photographs of her in close physical contact with Misty May have only added to her allure. She often inspires comparison with fellow 6'-3" beach volleyball player Gabrielle Reece for her status as a sex symbol, though she has had a much more successful volleyball career.
Kerri currently resides in Redondo Beach, California, and she is married to men's beach volleyball player Casey Jennings, who has won four AVP titles. Jennings and Walsh met in 2000, the very same day Misty May "auditioned" Walsh to be her partner. Kerri and Casey dated for four years, and were recently married on December 4, 2005, at the La Quinta Resort in Palm Springs, California. Casey proposed to her on the island of Molokai in 2004.
Walsh also hosts a weekly, one-hour radio show on Sirius Satellite Radio's Faction 28 station. It airs every Sunday morning at 9 AM Eastern time. Walsh is one of many athletes to have a show on Faction 28. Other athletes with shows include Lance Armstrong, Tony Hawk and Bode Miller. |
