Eduarda Santos Lisboa and Ana Patricia Ramos are world champions, taking the crown at the Beach Volleyball World Championships Rome 2022 on Sunday.

The Brazilian duo downed Sophie Bukovec and Brandie Wilkerson of Canada 2-0 (21-17, 21-19) in the tournament’s final, capping off eight consecutive victories for the title.

Youth Olympic champions at Nanjing 2014, the Brazilians kept their composure to hold off Bukovec and Wilkerson to lift another trophy eight years later.

“I’m so happy that I’m out of words to describe my feelings,” Duda told Volleyball World. “It’s really a dream come true. I’m just so happy with the result of our work. We were able to put everything we trained into work and every match was better than the previous one. I have to thank my partner, our team, our sponsors and family members because we wouldn’t have done it without them.”

Sunday’s win brings the world title back to Brazil for the first time since 2015.
