Canada won its lone Olympic volleyball medal way back in 1996 when John Child and Mark Heese captured bronze on the beach in Atlanta.

Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson hope to end that drought this week. The Toronto beach team has rebounded from a slow start in Paris 2024 to reach Wednesday’s quarterfinals.
