Vladimir Putin visits Canada House

Vladimir Putin visits the Canada House at the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi to pose for photos with athletes and fans.

Russian president Vladimir Putin has stopped by Canada House, which welcomes Canadian athletes and supporters at the Winter Olympic Games, to pose for photos with athletes and fans.

Speed skater Brittany Schussler even stole a selfie with the president.


Scott Blackmun, the chief executive of the US Olympic Committee, told The AP: "It was an unexpected visit. We talked about mostly our impression of the Games.

"He was very interested in knowing what we thought of the level of infrastructure. He was genuinely interested on whether we were having a quality experience at the Games."

Putin visited the Holland House earlier in the week.
