AMERICAN FORK, Utah, June 30, 2021 /CNW/ -- KT Tape®, the leader in drug-free pain relief products, today announced the addition of World Champions Melissa Humana-Paredes and Sarah Pavan to its professional athlete roster. The duo makes up the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB)'s #1 ranked beach volleyball team in the world.
"We are ecstatic to now count Pavan and Humana-Paredes among our ranks of professional athletes," said Greg Venner, CEO of KT Tape. "The synergy between these two athletes is undeniable. As we continue to support our brand's growth in Canada, we're proud to support Melissa and Sarah in their goal to bring home gold this season."
Since teaming up in the spring of 2017, Humana-Paredes and Pavan have consistently performed as one of the world's top women's beach volleyball teams. In their first season together, they recorded four podium finishes on the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour, highlighted by a victory at the 5-star event in Porec. They finished both the 2017 and 2019 FIVB season as #1 in the world in addition to becoming the first-ever Commonwealth Games champions in beach volleyball. In 2019, the pair won Canada's first-ever medal at the World Championships–the women's gold medal at the 2019 Beach Volleyball World Championships, which qualified them for the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.
"When we're on the court, we have to focus on our side," said Pavan. "Aligning with KT Tape allows us to perform at our best and ensures we have the support needed on the world stage."
"Knowing we'll have support and pain relief from KT Tape as we compete around the world, which is formulated to withstand humidity and heat, is definitely a relief in any pressure-filled situation," added Humana-Paredes.
