Brazil's duo captured the country's first gold in the event since 1996. The pair already represented one of the top beach volleyball tandems in the world prior to the Paris Games, although an Olympic medal eluded them.

They previously qualified for a spot in the Tokyo Olympics, although they weren't able to finish on the podium. Now, they're bringing gold medals back home.

Tensions were high during the third set between Canada and Brazil, as Wilkerson and Ana Patricia both received yellow cards following an argument.

Although the Canadian team was unable to win the final match of the competition, Wilkerson and Humana-Paredes still made history on Friday.

Their silver medal represented the first-ever podium finish for Canada at the women's competition. It also marked the second beach volleyball medal finish for the country as a whole, as the men's team of John Child and Mark Heese won bronze in 1996.

It initially appeared as if Wilkerson and Humana-Paredes wouldn't have a shot at a medal after finishing with a 1-2 record in pool play. However, they didn't drop another match until Friday and defeated Switzerland in the semifinals.

Men's beach volleyball will wrap up on Saturday, as France will face off against Poland in the gold medal match at 7 a.m. ET.
