Canadian athletes’ pics chronicle their Olympic experience
Whatever the complaints the media may have about their accommodations, it seems the Wifi is working just fine around Sochi as the Olympics get under way in earnest.
The Canadian athletes are snapping pics of themselves all over the place. The general theme: big, big smiles.
Here's a selection of them.
