The DJ picked the perfect song at the perfect time.
The final of the women's beach volleyball tournament was getting heated on Friday evening, that's when the event's DJ stepped in to try and calm things down.
After a point in the gold medal match between Brazil's Ana Patricia Silva Ramos and Eduarda Santos Lisboa and Canada's Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson, things got tense. The two teams began trash talking each other after Canada cut into Brazil's lead 11–8. It started to get ugly when a referee had to step in.
When the players finally separated and went back to their starting positions, the DJ stepped in and stepped up, playing John Lennon's "Imagine." The players even broke out in smiles and applauded the music choice. Then the crowd got involved and started singing. It was actually a really nice moment. How great is this?
