Wilkerson, Humana-Paredes seek Montreal three-peat in pro beach volleyball
The Canadians are ranked ninth in the world and seek a second tournament win this season after taking gold in Ostrava in May.
- Canadian beach volleyball stars Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson begin their pursuit of a Montreal three-peat this week at the FIVB Beach Pro Tournament at Parc Jean-Drapeau, seeking a third consecutive title on home soil.
- With no Olympic Games or world championships scheduled for 2026, the duo circled Montreal as their season highlight. Humana-Paredes and Wilkerson won in Montreal in 2023 and 2025, fueling their drive for another gold.
- The tournament features 24 teams per gender competing for $400,000 in prize money. Marie-Alex of Saint-Alphonse-Rodriguez, Que., and Lea Monkhouse of Mississauga, Ont., join Samuel Schachter of Richmond Hill, Ont., and Jonathan Pickett of Wiarton, Ont., in the main draw.
- After reuniting with coaches Marcio Sicoli and Guilherme Tenius, Humana-Paredes feels refreshed following a hip injury earlier this season. The team leverages their renewed partnership to overcome recent setbacks and pursue the title.
- Beyond the court, Humana-Paredes supports climate solutions through her Sport One Carbon Zero initiative, donating $20 for every dig made and aiming to raise $10,000 to fund environmental projects.
