Beach Volleyball - Team Herrera/Gavira

General
Pablo Herrera and Adrian Gavira teamed up in 2009 after Herrera had made his second Olympic appearance at the 2008 Games in Beijing. Tokyo will be Herrera's fifth Olympic Games, equalling the record for most Olympic appearances by a beach volleyball player. Gavira is competing at his third Games.

At Herrera's Olympic debut in 2004 he won silver alongside former partner Javier Bosma, and four years later he made the round of 16 in Beijing with Raul Mesa. After teaming up with Gavira, the pair made their Olympic debut together in London in 2012, where they were beaten in the round of 16 by Ricardo Santos and Pedro Cunha of Brazil. In Rio in 2016 they overcame Austrian and US teams in the pool phase before losing to Brazilian opposition again in the round of 16, this time to eventual gold medallists Alison Cerutti and Bruno Schmidt.
