AVP owner Donald Sun recently said his organization was prepared to withstand the absence of Walsh Jennings, a three-time Olympic gold medalist who has missed previous tour events because of injuries, childbirth or conflicts with the international tour that figures into Olympic qualifying.
“It didn’t seem to affect attendance, TV ratings or viewership online,” Sun told the Associated Press. “The AVP is not just one person or one athlete; if it was, it would be a very challenging business model.”
