a friend gets some well-deserved recognition

Every once and awhile a friend does something special so it's only proper to note it.

This time it's Sarah Pavan

Here's a short video compilation posted to Twitter.

And later her teammate Melissa Humana-Paredes was named the best defender in the world and together they're the best team in the world. 

here's Mel's video compilation.

the full women's world champion gold medal match is here

 

on becoming a world champion

Sarah Pavan is a focused friend.  She was a biochem major in college, but also happens to be an elite athlete. She sums up a remarkable year as she prepares for the Tokyo Olympics.  If you want to watch something other than college football on Thanksgiving, here's a link to the Beach Volleyball Women's World Championship gold medal match in Hamburg.  Both teams are amazing and it's a remarkable match.

Her teammate Melissa Humana-Paredes is also a star.  With only two players on a team complementary skills and communication are central.  Most teams never get there, but these two are about as close as it gets.
