Kerri Walsh Jennings isn't wasting any time breaking in her third beach volleyball gold medal.

Walsh Jennings dropped her medal on the cement the morning after she captured her third straight Olympic title with partner Misty May-Treanor. The medal was scratched in two spots along the rim.

No big deal, Walsh Jennings says. With two little ones running around at home, things have a tendency to get dinged.

She says she won't consider tucking her medals away in a safe place.

"People find inspiration in it," she says. "I'm blessed that I can share it."
