The men’s pair of Leo Williams and Grant Goldschmidt recently entered the record books, when they became the first team from Africa to win a medal on the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour, at the Anchor Beach Volleyball Carnival in Cambodia few weeks ago.

They finished second after losing to Russia 2-0 to earn a silver medal. Williams says their performance proves that they can compete with the best.
