2014 Tromso Olympiads
Canada sent two extremely strong teams to the Olympiads this year. So far, both teams have 1/2, winning against a much weaker team and losing against a much stronger one. A few of the players posted pictures and information on social media. Qiyu Zhou's mother has been posting nice pictures on a new Facebook page, including one with GM Topalov and another of GM Hansen's new haircut. Tromso (Norway) definitely looks like an incredible destination!
