WINNIPEG – Manitoba’s Jennifer Jones curling rink arrived in Sochi, Russia, Tuesday to represent Canada at the Winter Olympic Games.

The team flew in to Sochi’s international airport.

“We’re at the Olympics and we’ve waited a lifetime for this, so we’re going to enjoy every moment of it. We’re going to enjoy the opening ceremonies, we’re going to really try to soak up the atmosphere and meet all the other athletes, our teammates, but really, the goal is to go out there and perform at our best,” Jones told Global News.
