The Australian winter Olympic & Paralympic teams have been announced and it’s time to get excited about supporting our Aussie sportswomen in Sochi.
Despite what you may have heard, athletes will be allowed to use social media so expect plenty of behind the scenes shenanigans from your winter Olympians. Can they top the social media antics our summer games athletes? Here’s hoping!
Pick your poison
Are you a twit? A Facebooker or is Instagram more your cup of tea?
Our Olympians are spread out over all of these channels, I personally will be following them all but you may not have the time so pick the one you like most. Twitter and Facebook have the added bonus of a list function that enables you to follow everyone with just one click.
