The timing isn't ideal, but beach volleyball player Kerri Walsh is in it to win it.

The two-time defending Olympic gold medalist, 33, has pinkeye, according to ESPN. She is taking antibiotics and still plans to compete with her partner, Misty May-Treanor, 35, in the next round. Walsh's husband, Casey Jennings, is also suffering from conjunctivitis.
