The Winter Olympics have been in full swing at Sochi, on our televisions at home and in the classrooms at TCS!
Some of our kids stepped up onto the podium and we asked them a few basic questions about their Olympics; what country they were representing, their sport of choice, the equipment and any special food that they require to be the best athlete they can be.
