Even under clouds, the impression was one sun to everyone in Shiokaze Park for most of the game. Under a thermal sensation of 40°, the rain even fell at the end, but not in time to alleviate for Bruno Schmidt and Evandro. The two tried, but fell to Plavins and Tocs, from Latvia, in the round of 16 of beach volleyball. In 2 sets to 0, partial 21/19 and 21/18, the Brazilian duo says goodbye to the Tokyo Olympics.
