Canada's Humana-Paredes and Wilkerson Win Historic Silver in Olympic Beach Volleyball





Canadian beach volleyball players Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson made history by winning silver at the Paris Olympics, marking the first time a Canadian women's team has reached the podium in the sport. The Toronto-based duo fell 2-1 (26-24, 12-21, 15-10) to Brazil's Ana Patricia Ramos and Eduarda Santos (Duda) Lisboa in Friday's final at Eiffel Tower Stadium.


 After a challenging start, including two losses in pool play, they fought their way through to the final. Previously, they shared a fifth-place finish with different partners at the Tokyo Games. Canada's only other Olympic beach volleyball medal was a bronze in 1996.
