I watched Carlos Yulo win his two gold medals, and the reaction online from the diasporic Asian communities have been very celebratory! I think I could say I was also rooting for him from home here in Canada. It's unfortunate that these victories have been mired with so much drama at home. Hopefully it doesn't overshine from the moment of athletes by the time they arrive home.

Ha—I guess we won't be talking about that on Wednesday when the "heroes' parade" takes place. It seems the zeitgeist and the media has moved on... well, at least from the mommy issues. We will be talking about all those incentives (as is the West, I notice). And Caloy will remain a two-time gold winner.
