VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Roberto Luongo won’t have any family joining him next month when he suits up for Canada at the Winter Olympics.
The same goes for Sweden’s Daniel Sedin.
The Vancouver Canucks teammates are both concerned over security at the Games in Sochi, Russia, after a series of threats and terrorist attacks in the region.
Two suicide bombers killed 34 people in the southern Russian city of Volgograd in December, and officials say they are hunting three more potential attackers _ including one believed to be in Sochi.
It’s definitely on my mind, I’m not going to lie,” Luongo said after practice. “I think we’re all a little bit concerned. We’re definitely going to keep an eye on it over the next few weeks.”
Sedin, who is set to compete for Sweden along with his twin brother Henrik, said he was “absolutely” concerned about the news coming out of Russia, including email threats against a handful of European countries set to participate at the Olympics.
