Canadian gold medalist swimmer Penny Oleksiak is making her country super proud. The 16-year-old swimming phenom is the first athlete born in the new millennium to win an Olympic gold medal in any sport, and is killing it by winning four gold medals in Rio along with an Olympic record of 52.70 seconds in the women's 100m freestyle final. She now have Canada's proudest son Drake (sorry William Shatner and Tom Green) showing her much love for her historic feats.

The 6ix God posted on Instagram Saturday that he is enthralled by his fellow Toronto native's accomplishments in Rio, and wants her to show up at his one of his shows once she returns home.

To play the Angel's Advocate, let's assume that "OVO Penny" would like that a lot as a young fan getting tickets to see one of music's biggest stars perform for free. And as for the Devil's Advocate, if she's not a Drake fan, or if she is can't attend any of shows once she returns from Rio—the Toronto dates on his "Summer Sixteen" tour have already passed in late July and early August— she can just add those free tickets as memorable items next to her medals or scrapbook of her experience taking the swimming world by storm.
