Canadian women’s rugby sevens team enjoys warm send-off before heading to Rio
TORONTO — The Olympic have yet to begin but the OMG moments are already happening for Canadian rugby sevens star Ghislaine Landry.
The 28-year-old speedster from Toronto was in demand Tuesday at a City hall send-off for the rugby sevens women’s team. In between hugs and photos with family and friends, Landry posed for selfies and signed flags and other mementoes from a steady line of wide-eyed youngsters.
Then, as she prepared to speak to a reporter, someone else caught her eye.
“Oh my God,” she said.
