CALGARY - Canada's world champions in beach volleyball are amping up preparations for the Summer Olympics coming over the horizon.
The COVID-19 pandemic kept Sarah Pavan of Kitchener, Ont., and Toronto's Melissa Humana-Paredes apart and docked from competition for much of 2020.
The Canadian duo plans to compete in at least five tournaments over the next two months starting Thursday in Cancun, Mexico.
