John Lennon's hit 1971 song 'Imagine' is still soothing fans to this day. The song took center stage at the 2024 Paris Olympics when a DJ played it to ease tensions between Brazil and Canada's respective teams at the women's beach volleyball final on Aug. 9. In the throes of the match, tensions rose to an all-time high when Canada narrowed Brazil's lead to 11-8 in the third set.
Following the song, the match progressed with Brazil ultimately defeating the Canadian team with two sets to one. The win was huge for Brazil as it marked their second gold in the sport and the first since winning the 1996 Olympic games in Atlanta, GA, when beach volleyball made its debut. As for Wilkerson, she and her teammate Melissa Humana-Paredes went home with silver medals while Switzerland's Tanja Huberli and Nina Betschart won bronze.
