The Eiffel Tower looms over the temporary stadium in Paris where the Olympic beach volleyball competition is being contested<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Taliqua Clancy and Mariafe Artacho del Solar have secured a spot in the next round of the beach volleyball competition at the Paris Olympics after a decisive victory over Canada in the early hours of Friday morning.<\/p>\n

The Aussie duo, who were sitting at third spot on the Pool B ladder, defeated Canadians Heather Barnsley and Sophie Bukovec 2-0 (21-10, 21-16).<\/p>\n

However, only the top two teams in each pool – and the two best-ranked third-placed teams – go through to the next stage of the competition.<\/p>\n

Other third-ranked teams go to the “lucky loser” elimination round.<\/p>\n

When the USA duo of Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth defeated China’s Chen Xue and Xinyi Xia 2-1 in the rain a few hours later, the Aussies overtook China on the ladder, moving into second spot and thus ensuring their place in the “Round of 16”.<\/p>\n

The schedule for these next games will be decided once all the other Pool competitions have been completed.<\/p>\n
