In post-match interviews, Canada's Wilkerson, proudly taking home the silver medal, remarked: "We're competitors, and we're both fighting for the same thing-there's only one gold medal.

Brazilian sensation Patricia shared her thoughts: "It was a game thing. Everybody wants to win. But it happens. It's everybody trying to win, but now everything is OK."
