Halfway home: Lillehammer 2016 in photos

Five days ago the Olympic flame was lit in Lillehammer, Norway, signaling the start of the 2016 Youth Olympic Winter Games.

Today marks the official half way point of the Games. Canadian athletes have already achieved great things on the rink, track, hill and course; and there’s only more to come.

Here’s a behind the scenes glance at what Team Canada has been experiencing!
