Nicknamed “The Beast,” Dalhausser has put together one of the best resumes on the tour and is considered by many to be one of the most dominating players since the days of Olympian and Honu partner, Sinjin Smith. Dalhausser is a front runner to repeat and win a 2012 Olympic gold medal with partner Todd Rogers and Honu would like to take this opportunity to wish them, and all of the other USA athletes, good luck!
