TLAXCALA CITY, Mexico — Canada struck gold in men’s and women’s beach volleyball on Sunday — along with some continental participant passes to the 2024 Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

The men’s and women’s teams claimed top spot in the NORCECA Beach Volleyball Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Mexico.

Heather Bansley of Waterdown, Ont., and Sophie Bukovec of Toronto, who have been playing together for just under a year, were undefeated in the tournament and won the women’s gold.
