Day four done

 A pretty good day 4.  Couple of first and a slight surprise. The surprise being Lydia Jacobs taking gold in 100m breaststroke.  The firsts include: 1. Hidilyn Diaz winning Philippines first ever gold, winning it in weightlifting 2. Flora Duffy winning Bermuda's first ever gold medal, winning the triathlon and 3. Canada winning it's first ever medal in softball.  That was one of four medals won today (Maude Charron in weightlifting, second women's weightlifting champion, Kylie Masse with a silver and Catherine Beauchemin-Pinard a bronze in judo). Day five starts in a few hours.
