Canadian beach volleyball players Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson will settle for silver at the Paris Games.
They dropped a 2-1 (26-24, 12-21, 15-10) decision to Brazil鈥檚 Ana Patricia Ramos and Eduarda Santos (Duda) Lisboa in Friday鈥檚 final at Eiffel Tower Stadium.
It鈥檚 the first time a Canadian women鈥檚 team has reached the Olympic podium in the sport.
Humana-Paredes and Wilkerson, both from Toronto, lost two of three matches in pool play and won a lucky-loser match just to reach the round of 16.
They shared a fifth-place finish with different partners at the Tokyo Games in 2021.
Canada鈥檚 only other Olympic beach volleyball medal came in 1996 when Mark Heese and John Child won men鈥檚 bronze in Atlanta.
