And rightfully so. They keep adding to their resumes with significant honors – most recently, Taylor’s 4-Star FIVB tournament with Jake Gibb (November in Chetumal,W Mexico) and Trevor’s sublime triumph at the Manhattan Beach Open last August. But while Taylor and Trevor won a few NORCECAs playing together, they could never capture an AVP or FIVB title, which, in part, led them to seek different partners. The Crabbs are not the only elite brother combo (see page 22) to seek the pro beach volleyball limelight. In fact, the most intriguing set of siblings may be the Partains, 19-year-old Marcus and 18-year-old Miles. Together, they were the youngest team to make an AVP main draw, which they achieved in Hermosa Beach, California, in July of 2017. Separately, Miles, at 15 years and seven I do (get excited when Miles months, became the youngest individual to ever make an AVP main draw. “ But it wasn’t until this past fall that Miles really broke out.

Winner of seven gold medals this season with two different partners, Harley was recognized as the SWATCH Most Outstanding Player for 2008 season at the year’s last double gender event in China this past weekend in Sanya. The women’s post-season awards will be announced next week. The men’s SWATCH Most Outstanding Player was selected byrepresentatives from SWATCH and the Federation Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB), who also selected Igor Kolodinsky as the SWATCH top server for the 2008 season as the Russian recorded a record serve of 114.0 km/h. Harley teamed with Pedro Salgado to clinch the SWATCH team-of-the-year award by capturing the 2008 point’s championship at a mid-September event in Guarujà, Brazil. After winning six gold medals in 2008 with Salgado, Harley ended the campaign capturing the season-ending event in Sanya with Benjamin Insfran. “It is always an honor to be recognized as the top player,” said the 34-year old Harley. “This honor helps in easing my failure with Pedro to qualify for the Olympics.

Beachvolleyball ist doch eine riesige Party, an der wir teilnehmen dürfen.” Emanuel kennt Spiele wie das gegen Harle y/ Pedro zur Genüge. Nir gendwo ist der Konkur- renzkampf so hart wie unter den Brasilianern, „da ist die Motivation noch größer”. Emanuel sieht die Duelle gegen die Landsleute mit gemischten Gefühlen. Einerseits sei es gut, ständig gefordert zu werden. Aber weil es in seiner Heimat so viele Spitzenspieler gibt, werden permanent neue Teams gebildet, was wiederum einer langfristigen Entwicklung des einzelnen Athleten schadet. Seit fünf Jahren spielt Emanuel Rego mit einem schlafenden Riesen Emanuel, der seit 1994 international Beachvol- leyball spielt, hatte bislang zehn P artner, von denen drei herausragend sind: Ze Marco de Melo, Jose Loiola und Ricardo Santos. Die erfolgreichste Phase seiner Karriere erlebt er seit 2003 mit Ricardo, der drei Jahre zuvor mit Ze Marco in Sydney Silber gewonnen hatte. Ricardo Santos sei ein „schlafender Riese, den keiner wirklich kennt”, sagt Mauricio Kaya. „Er ist die ideale Ergänzung für Emanuel”.
