Pavan, from Kitchener, and her partner, Melissa Humana-Paredes, defeated Brazil in the FVIB finals on Sunday, August 4th after a 47 minute game.

For the duo this is their third time receiving gold after winning another FVIB competition in Edmonton and a Beach Volleyball Major Series tournament in Hamburg, Germany.
