Two-time Olympian Sarah Pavan will team up with world silver medallist Sophie Bukovec in a quest for a medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Melissa Humana-Paredes will play with Brandie Wilkerson. Pavan and Humana-Paredes, who won the world title in 2019, announced in August they were splitting up after five years together.

Pavan, from Kitchener, Ont., and Toronto's Humana-Paredes also captured their second Commonwealth Games gold medal this past summer in Birmingham, England, and have climbed the World Tour podium numerous times.

They were eliminated in the quarter-finals at last year's Tokyo Olympics. Toronto's Wilkerson finished fifth in Tokyo with previous partner Heather Bansley and won silver with Bukovec, from Toronto, at the 2022 world championships.
