Joy Drop: Excited for 1st trip to Toronto's summer-ending CNE
Friends! Hello! Hello! I have had an incredible experience covering the Women's World Cup in Australia. I had a lot of fun, but there is important work that needs to continue. But this is JOY DROP and we all deserve some levity and some happiness and a chance to reboot and recharge.
In case you missed it, I got to meet some delightful new friends Down Under, including a koala named Frederic.
Also thrilling is coming home to a sensational World Athletic Championships where Canada is on fire! Canada's Camryn Rogers won a gold for Canada in hammer throw. She's formidable and exciting to watch.
And earlier in the competition, Ethan Katzberg's Canadian-record of 81.25 metres beat the reigning Olympic and World champions. Canada OWNS hammer throw.
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is Jamaica's most decorated athlete, surpassing Usain Bolt's record of 15 medals.
One of my favourite moments this week was American Sha'Carri Richardson interacting with Fraser-Pryce and Shericka Kackson of Jamaica after winning gold. I love the camaraderie and the shared happiness.
Humble in victory, gracious in defeat
