Emanuel Fernando Sheffer Rego (born 15 April 1973) is a Brazilian male former beach volleyball player who competed in five consecutive Summer Olympics, starting in 1996.[1] Rego partnered with José Loiola at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney,[2] though they did not medal.[1] He won the gold medal in the men's beach team competition at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, partnering with Ricardo Santos.[3] He won the bronze medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing and the silver medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.[3]

In 2016, Rego was inducted into the International Volleyball Hall of Fame.[3] He was the Brazilian flagbearer at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.[4]

Rego famously offered his medal to his compatriot Vanderlei de Lima – who won the bronze in the men's marathon after being attacked by Neil Horan – a year later, though it was politely declined.[5]

Personal life

[edit]

Rego was born in Curitiba, and is married (2013) to volleyball Olympic medallist and Senator Leila Barros.[1]
