And just like that, the draught was over.

Finally there is no doubt in the world's mind that Canadian Women KICK ASS. So we've finally found ourselves on the medal podium twice in the last 24 hours. Actually, three times to be more accurate, but twice for Women's Wrestling (one gold, one bronze). Kate and I were watching the ladies go at it last night and it was an exciting moment. I had no idea it would be so much fun to watch women greco-roman wrestling. Okay, I had an idea, but I'm talking more from am athletic standpoint. Turns out, Canadian woman are good at wrestling. Not that this surprises me...I've wrestled enough times (all in the past my broken arm assures you) and I've seen enough of my fellow female Canadians wrestle to know we apparently have a Thing for it. Turns that thing can translate into some Olympic gold. Way to go girls.

Shout out also to the men's rowing double that got us a silver.

HUYNH Carol - Gold - Wrestling Women's Freestyle 48kg
