Beach Volleyball - Team Verge-Depre, A./Heidrich

General
Anouk Verge-Depre and Joana Heidrich teamed up in early 2017 after both players' former partners retired. Tokyo is their first Olympic Games together, but a second Games for both players. At the 2016 Games, Verge-Depre and Isabelle Forrer were eliminated in the round of 16 by eventual gold medallists Laura Ludwig and Kira Walkenhorst of Germany, while Heidrich and Nadine Zumkehr made it to the quarterfinals in Rio where they were beaten by Brazil's Larissa Franca and Talita Antunes.

Their two appearances at the world championships together have both ended in elimination at the round of 16. At the 2019 edition in Hamburg, they lost to eventual silver medallists Taliqua Clancy and Mariafe Artacho of Australia.
