Penny Oleksiak is home again and will be shifting her thinking from gold medals to back to school shopping soon.

The 16-year old not only gathered four Olympic medals and broke swimming records in Rio but collected many Canadian hearts. Canada fell in love with Penny’s determination and open-heartedness on the podium and in the water.

There’s a great article about Canada’s youngest new Olympian in Maclean’s.

Oh, and check out Penny on Twitter this week. Looks like she received a congratulatory tweet from mega-musician, Shawn Mendes

She revealed much excitement on social media with her favourite artist Drake following her — and was also interviewed by Buzzfeed Canada.

What else is exciting these days for this Olympic medalist?

Penny’s new kitty, named Rio of course.

May have left Rio to go to Rio but came right back to Rio #badkittyrio
