Canada’s first contingent of athletes landed in Beijing on Thursday, just about a week ahead of the opening ceremony for the 2022 Winter Olympics.
It will be the fourth Olympics for moguls skier Chloe Dufour-Lapointe, but the first under the spectre of a pandemic.
“The road was not easy but we’re really grateful to be able to go to these Olympics and we’re going to have fun, so we’re really excited,” the 30-year-old Montrealer told CBC News.
The group of athletes flew on an Air Canada charter plane from Vancouver, on which N95 masks were mandatory.
