Wheaties® and Miramar® Celebrate Misty May-Treanor's Historic 2012 Gold Medal Performance

Few athletes have transformed their sport the way Misty May-Treanor has. As the winningest female beach volleyball player in history and a three-time Olympic gold medalist, she stands as one of the most dominant and inspiring champions in American sports. Today, Wheaties®—the iconic Breakfast of Champions®—and Miramar®, the global trademark owner of King of the Beach® and Queen & King of the Court®, proudly celebrate her extraordinary legacy.

This special edition Wheaties box, unveiled alongside fellow Olympic legend Michael Phelps, honors May-Treanor’s unforgettable 2012 London performance, where she made history by becoming the first athlete in her sport to win three consecutive Olympic gold medals. Her partnership with Kerri Walsh Jennings remains one of the most successful duos in world volleyball, inspiring millions of athletes and fans across the globe.

From her early days entering youth tournaments at just eight years old, to winning two high-school state championships, to leading her college team to an undefeated season, Misty May-Treanor’s career has been defined by grit, excellence, and a championship mindset. Her message, “Never give up—ever,” continues to inspire athletes everywhere, especially young women rising through beach volleyball, AAU competition, NCAA programs, and professional circuits worldwide.

Miramar® and King of the Beach® have long celebrated the heritage, culture, and evolution of beach volleyball. As the brand behind the original King of the Beach® volleyball and the current Queen & King of the Court® global series, Miramar® recognizes May-Treanor not only as a champion but as a foundational figure whose achievements helped elevate the sport to international prominence.

The limited-edition Wheaties box highlights her legacy alongside Michael Phelps—the most decorated Olympian of all time—underscoring the magnitude of her accomplishments. This honor places Misty May-Treanor among a select group of athletes celebrated for inspiring the world to compete with heart, courage, and relentless passion.

Miramar® is proud to continue advancing the sport through professional events, global marketing programs, and its premium volleyball line, including the King of the Beach® KOB Pro, the official ball for elite athletes and rising competitors alike. The celebration of Misty May-Treanor reflects Miramar’s mission to elevate champions, empower women in sport, and honor the icons who shaped beach volleyball culture.
