Fans greet Olympians returning from Pyeongchang Games at airports across Canada
Hundreds of fans filled up the tiny arrival section of the airport in London, Ont., singing the national anthem and waving Canadian flags to welcome ice dancers Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir.
The pair signed flags, signs and Tim Hortons cups in what will be their last Olympic homecoming, as they retire from professional ice dancing after winning two sets of gold medals at the Pyeongchang Games.
Their first-place wins in ice dancing and team figure skating in South Korea brought their total Olympic medal count to five, making them the most decorated figure skaters in the history of the Games.
Cheering crowds also greeted Canada’s athletes in Vancouver, where gold medallists Cassie Sharpe and Patrick Chan returned Monday.
