PARIS — Two U.S. teams fell on the sand at Eiffel Tower Stadium. Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss lost to Canada in the women's round of 16 a few hours after Chase Budinger and Miles Evans lost to Norway in the men's. Only Miles Partain and Andy Benesh advanced on Monday. They joined Kelly Cheng and Sara Hughes in the elite eight. Brandie Wilkerson and Melissa Humana-Paredes beat Nuss and Kloth in straight sets. That left the country that has won four of the last five women's gold medals with just one team in the bracket.
