Russia's Tatyana Arkhipenko took the women's event, braving the heat for three minutes and nine seconds.

I'm back from Atlanta.
I got *no* sun, somehow. I declare victory over the Daystar, which has thoughtfully vanished behind clouds and rain for my homecoming.

I watched my host and his boyfriend be OMG!CUTE
and now I have a lot of work to do.
