I dreamed an entire Olympic final last night. I thought I was still awake watching an event, only to realize that I’d been asleep for around 2 hours…

Last night I dreamed that Canada won gold in women's football on penalties after missing three attempts in a row, but that's obviously too fantastical to be real.

It's hard to say how the conditions changed everything or how much some boats got tired, but both Poland and New Zealand had a slower final than the SF while we and Belarus peaked in the final. I think in the case of the Kiwis they got tired by the end of it, after all they had 4 women's kayak athletes for 4 events while we had 6. 

 

Edit: Still, massive kudos to Carrington, 3 gold medals and a 4th place is an amazing achievement, I doubt we will ever see something like this again.

Queiroz stepping onto the podium with a kamehameha  (for those who know)

Noah Lyles did a "give me your energy" pose before the 200m finals, and the Chinese 4x100m men's team did a synchronized kamehameha before the finals yesterday. DBZ fans are taking over the Olympics :D

And a quick Twitter search for 'kamehameha' suggests half of Brazil is still up and watching
