Brazil also won the women's tournament through Ágatha Bednarczuk and Duda Lisboa, taking home the gold medals in both genders for the 59th time in World Tour history and 10th time on home sand.

The last time it happened was at last year's Rio Open, when Bednarczuk and Duda were joined by Alison Cerutti and Bruno Schmidt in triumphing.

In the men's gold medal match, Gonçalves and Loyola controlled first-time World Tour finalists Christian Sørum and Anders Mol of Norway to claim a 21-18, 21-16 win in the specially-built arena at Meia Praia.

Victory earned them their second international gold medal with the first coming at the 2017 FIVB World Championships in Austria's capital Vienna.

Furthermore, it secured them their second medal of the season having won silver at the Huntington Beach Open in the United States earlier this month.

"They (Sørum and Mol) are very young players and, despite of all their talent, there’s obviously some pressure when you play your first final," Loyola said.

"We had a good strategy and it worked.

"We feel very comfortable here in Itapema."

In the bronze medal match, Poland's Piotr Kantor and Bartosz Losiak bounced back from a 21-19, 21-16 semi-final loss to Gonçalves and Loyola to beat another Brazilian team, the one of Guto Carvalhaes and Vitor Felipe, 21-19, 21-17.

The win ensured their second medal of the season after a silver in Dutch city The Hague in January.

The final of the women’s event saw seventh-seeded Bednarczuk and Duda defeat Switzerland’s Joana Heidrich and Anouk Vergé-Dépré 21-19, 21-17.

It secured a second World Tour gold medal for the 34-year-old veteran and the 19-year-old rising star, who had won the 2017 Rio Open, also on home sand, and the first medal for the team in the 2017-2018 season.

They now have two golds, two silvers and seven bronzes in 14 tournaments together.

"It’s hard to explain how we’re feeling right now," Agatha, a silver medallist at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, said.

"The energy of the fans has been amazing all week and we have our families and a lot of friends supporting us here which makes it even more special.

"It’s awesome that we managed to win in our country again."

The Brazilians have finished in the top-10 of each of the four World Tour tournaments they have played in 2018, but it is the first time they have reached an international podium since they won the silver medal at the World Tour Finals in German city Hamburg last August.

For Heidrich and Vergé-Dépré, who are starting their second season together, it was their second-ever medal after a silver in The Hague last year.

Canada’s Heather Bansley and Brandie Wilkerson claimed the bronze medals after overcoming Brazilians Carolina Solberg and Maria Elisa Antonelli 21-18, 18-21, 15-11.

It was the first time that Bansley and Wilkerson have reached a podium together having played in 13 World Tour tournaments since the end of 2016,

It was also the first-ever World Tour medal for the 25-year-old Wilkerson, who started competing internationally in 2014 and has played in 27 FIVB events since.
