A HEATED bust-up at Paris 2024 was defused thanks to a very creative DJ who took a hilarious initiative during the women’s beach volleyball final.
Canada and Brazil faced off on Friday at the Eiffel Tower Stadium and tensions reached boiling point during the tiebreaking third set.
Canadians Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson started exchanging some heavy words across the net with Brazilians Ana Patricia Ramos and Duda Lisboa.
The referee tried to calm the two pairs down but his efforts proved to be futile as tensions continued to flare.
That is when the DJ decided to step in with the power of music.
And John Lennon’s legendary Imagine song started echoing around the arena.
The scrap immediately came to an end and fans started singing the classic lyrics.
Even the two pairs immediately exchanged their frowny faces with big smiles.
The athletes applauded the DJ before their match was restarted in France.
Fans were left in awe by that incredible peacemaking moment and stormed social media.
One Paris 2024 enthusiast tweeted: “This was everything…”
Another commented: “Props to the DJ for cracking them up. It’s amazing how a little laughter can make everything feel better.”
A third said: “Iconic moments like these are worth living to see.”
This fan wrote: “I laughed so hard at this, the DJ definitely deserves a medal too.”
And that one stated: “I died.”
Brazil went on to win the third set and conquered gold thanks to a 15-10 victory.
Canada won the silver medal with Switzerland finishing third after beating Australia in the bronze medal match.
And it was obvious that the Brazilian and Canadian pair made peace as they shared a celebratory selfie on the podium.
