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.

Der Brasilianer will mit seinem Partner Ricardo Santos in Peking Gold holen. Er kennt das Gefühl, vor vier Jahren in Athen ist ihm dieses Kunststück bereits gelungen Gesichtern herumlaufen, dabei stünden sie doch alle in der Verantwortung: „Wir müssen ein gutes Bild vermitteln. 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.
