Wow, and this was supposed to be the time for her to just get used to competing in the Olympics and really make her move in Tokyo.

That last half was amazing, Penny is one hell of a swimmer. And she's just scratching the surface of her potential.

Celebrate tonight everybody, this is something very special for Canada!

Well... she just won a gold medal, the Bobbie Rosenfeld Award and the Lou Marsh Trophy with that swim.

Unbelievable.

Brutal calls of those last two races. Called Oleksiak Overhold as she made her move.
