Best of Clancy/Artacho del Solar 🇦🇺 Olympic Silver Medallists of

Australia’s Mariafe Artacho Del Solar and Taliqua Clancy took on USA’s April Ross and Alix Klineman for the Olympic gold at the Tokyo 2020 women’s beach volleyball tournament! The Australians took an early lead in their match against Graudina and Kravcenoka. They were able to extend it to four points, but after 17-13, the Latvians came back on a four-point run to prompt an interesting epilogue and eventually push the set into overtime. The Australians kept their cool and managed to close it off on an ace. Graudina and Kravcenoka took their turn to control the scoreboard in the second set and widened the gap to three points at 8-5. But then, they started making far too many unforced errors and gradually lost their usual confidence on the court giving the set away for a 2-0 (23-21, 21-13) Australian victory. By making the final, Artacho Del Solar and Clancy secured the first Olympic medal of their careers.

“It’s so surreal! We’ve dreamed of this moment for so many years and it’s so unreal that we are just one step away from the gold,” Artacho Del Solar told Volleyball World. “We’re just super happy right now.”
