This is Ty Loomis’ video from the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This is the Beach Volleyball Gold Medal Match between Ty Loomis (USA) & Hans Stolfus(USA) vs Emanuel Rego (BRA) & Ricardo Santos (BRA). Emanuel & Ricardo were the defending Olympic Gold Medalist & were currently the #1 team in the World for 6 years straight. The Gold Medal Match was in Copacabana, Brazil, in Copacabana Arena. It was their home country, their home stadium, in front of 7500 chanting, dancing, heckling, screaming fans that were all cheering for Brazil in the 2nd largest International Olympic Format Event. This was an awesome tournament in Brazil&, all the fans were amazing & we were stoked to be apart of this. Check it out now! -Ty Loomis Pro Beach Volleyball Player
