The Brazilian duo, Thâmela Coradello and Victoria Lopes, demonstrated their prowess by claiming the gold at the final Beach Pro Tour Elite event of the 2026 season in Montréal. This victory signifies their fourth gold win in a total of 25 Beach Pro Tour Elite events since they began their partnership. Notably, they have also achieved success in João Pessoa and Saquarema previously.
Their path to triumph in Montréal was marked by impressive comebacks, especially on the final day of the tournament. Despite losing to Canadians Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson in pool play, the Brazilian pair managed to overcome this setback and emerged victorious in a closely contested semifinal against the same team. In the final, they demonstrated resilience by coming back from one set down to defeat the American team of Kristen Cruz and Taryn Brasher.
Achievements and Rankings
Currently ranked second in the FIVB World Ranking, Thâmela and Victoria have amassed ten medals on the Beach Pro Tour. Their impressive collection includes:
- Four Gold Medals
- Two Silver Medals
- Four Bronze Medals
Their win in Montréal marks a significant turning point in what was a challenging season, where they had only managed to secure one bronze in seven prior events.
