The huge ATHLETE Emanuel Rego announced that he is retiring at the age of 43 from active action! Last of the tournament could not be other than that of Rio de Janeiro!
I do not know how many of you know him but he is a global face of beach volleyball! I am grateful that I met him and saw him play live in 2004 in Athens!
I am quoting some videos with the announcement of the withdrawal of this TRUE LEGEND!
