Brazil showcased its dominance in women’s beach volleyball by sweeping the podium at the 2025 Itapema Elite, the final Elite16 event of the Beach Pro Tour. Held on the scenic Meia Praia Beach, the event highlighted the host nation's depth and skill in the sport.
Podium Sweep Highlights
- Gold: Carol Salgado and Rebecca Cavalcanti recovered from an early loss in pool play and went on a stunning six-match win streak, all in straight sets. They clinched the title by defeating Talita Antunes and Taiana Lima 21-10, 21-10.
- Silver: Talita and Taiana earned their first podium finish of the 2025 season, capping off a solid tournament run.
- Bronze: Thâmela Coradello and Victoria Lopes edged out Thainara Oliveira and Talita Simonetti in a close match to secure third place.
Historic Performance
This marks only the second time in Elite16 history that athletes from a single nation captured all three medals on the podium. Brazil previously achieved this feat at the Uberlândia stop in 2022, underscoring the country’s ongoing excellence in the sport.
