Canadian duo Melissa Humana-Paredes and Sarah Pavan dispatched Spain's Liliana Fernandez Steiner and Elsa Baquerizo McMillan 2-0 in a round-of-16 match at the Tokyo Olympics on Monday, overpowering their opponents 21-13, 21-13.
TOKYO -- Trust is the foundation of defence and defence is the focal point of Melissa Humana-Paredes and Sarah Pavan's strategy in beach volleyball.
Toronto's Humana-Paredes and Pavan of Kitchener, Ont., will face Australia's Mariafe Artacho Del Solar and Taliqua Clancy in the quarterfinals on Tuesday. "Normally at this stage there would be two Americans or two Brazilians but you're seeing two Canadians now and I think that says a lot about our program and our federation," said Humana-Paredes. "I think as a country we should be really proud of where we are."
That world title qualified Pavan and Humana-Paredes for the Tokyo Olympics two years ago, then the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the Games by a year.
