Saying it’s common in their sport to part ways after a few years, former beach volleyball world champions Sarah Pavan and Melissa Humana-Paredes are calling it quits after five years together. “We have a lot of respect for each other and are very proud of what we have accomplished as a team over the past five years,” the two said in a joint statement Tuesday. “As with many long-standing beach volleyball partnerships, we both decided it was time to explore separate new options in our athletic careers.” Pavan, of Kitchener, Ont., and Humana-Paredes, of Toronto, won the world title in 2019. They won their second Commonwealth Games gold medal last month in Birmingham, England. They have also been on the Beach Volleyball World Tour podium several times, including winning gold this year at the Jurmala Beach Pro Tour Elite 16 tournament. At the Tokyo Olympics, the two went undefeated in pool play, winning every set. They were eventually eliminated in the quarterfinals with a 2-1 loss to Australia’s Mariafe Artacho del Solar and Taliqua Clancy. WATCHES | Pavan, Humana-Paredes banned from 2022 world championships:
