MEDAL QUEST | Rivals | "It's a Finesse Game" | PBS
Duration: 04:02
"If you're not thinking two steps ahead of your opponents," says Eric Duda of men's sitting volleyball, "you're already behind." This is a sport of speed, emotion and teamwork, as seen at the 2011 Parapan American championship match between Team USA and Brazil. MEDAL QUEST offers an unprecedented look into these high-stake games and the athletes that play them, and is produced for PBS by WGBH Boston in association with the US Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee.
