of Brazil Ana Patricia Silva Ramos And Edwarda 'Tuda’ Santos Lisbon He beat Canada to win gold in beach volleyball Brandy Wilkerson And Melissa Humana-Paredes 2-1 under the Eiffel Tower on Friday, August 9 Olympic Games Paris 2024.
The women’s beach volleyball gold medal match was exciting and at times tense with 'I ❤️ Paris’ written in the sand under the illuminated Eiffel Tower.
Although Canada got off to a strong start, Brazil’s strength and accurate attacking won the first set. Canada roared back in the second set and the women’s gold medal was in the third set, for the first time in beach volleyball.
This is where the tension arose. Duda and Wilkerson disagreed on a call in the third set and began exchanging words and gestures at the net. Their accomplices acted as peacemakers, as did the arena DJ who played John Lennon’s 'Imagine’. Wilkerson returned to serving after being shown a yellow card. As the fury subsided, the fans waved their hands in the air, and even the Canadian had to laugh.
Kerful seemed to focus on Duda and Ana Patricia as they quickly went on a 15 point run to secure the win. It was the first gold won by Brazilian women in beach volleyball since 1996. For Wilkerson and Humana-Paredes, their silver was the first for Canadian women in the sport.
