It's the Olympic Games, we're not going to war, so I feel pretty safe." Canadian speed skater Ivanie Blondin says she will trust in any decision the Canadian Olympic Committee makes about participation at the PyeongChang Olympics. The looming threat of war isn't a traditional Olympic security issue. In a statement released last week, the Canadian Olympic Committee said: "The safety of our entire Canadian Olympic team is always our main priority, no matter where the Games are held. "I'm going to be in Pyeongchang unless I'm told otherwise by the COC and the Canadian government."
