Interviewing Dr Homayun Gharavi – Part 1

This last week we had Dr Homayun Gharavi MD PhD PhD visiting Pál Joensen and Jón Bjarnason in their home pool in Vágur, Suðuroy, Faroe Islands, where he did intensive work with Pál and also conducted quite a few dryland sessions for him, his club and some visitors. This is a big shot double-PhD medical professional whom Pál and Jón met in 2010, who for instance helped Anastasia Zueva come back from an almost swimming career stopping paralysis risking back injury in the summer 2010, to a world championship gold and silver in Shanghai 2011. And a really nice guy too, who allowed this very first feeble attempt of mine to do an interview in English. See also Part 2.
