I just added a few skaters to my twitter (which is normally used to track food trucks, haha!). Seems that Ashley and Marissa are chummy, and Maia posted a pic of her, Felicia and Gracie, all smiles to be reunited.
But I agree, Golden411, a bad roomie situation could really throw someone off, so I hope they are all comfortable!
I guess the glass-is-half-full way of looking at things is that many lifelong friendships probably have been born between athletes who originally were just arbitrarily assigned to room together for a matter of days.
ETA, based on Kaitlyn Weaver's tweet/photo, I wonder whether her Sochi roommate is Tessa? I can't think of any other "T" (female or male skater) on Team Canada? And they are old friends.
(Off topic: agree that Twitter was "made" for food trucks ).
Hmm I wonder about the pro hockey players do they stay in the "dorms" too or do they spend some of their millions on a luxury hotel - mind you there are security issues.
I understand the point that you are trying to make, but seems to me that security would be far better within the Olympic villages than at any fancy hotel in the Sochi region -- meaning that access to the Olympic villages surely is far more restricted.
But IIRC, Olympic athletes are not allowed to bring their own personal bodyguards into the villages (even at the athletes' own expense). I suppose that some would consider that a justification for finding outside lodging.
