RIO DE JANEIRO -- Two days after describing the housing at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics as dangerous, Australian athletes and staff started moving into the massive athletes village compound on Tuesday.Australia team spokesman Mike Tancred said up to 60 delegation members -- evenly split between athletes and staff -- were checking in.All we need now is just a bit of plumbing done in three rooms, and some cleaning and our athletes will be moving in tonight, Tancred said, standing outside the villages arrival gate.Australians declined to enter their rooms on Sunday after flushed toilets and open taps caused water to gush down walls and ceilings in the building. They also complained of electrical shorts and gas leaks.Rio organizers said Tuesday that 21 of 31 buildings were ready, occupied by 600 athletes and 1,800 staff from 120 countries. Organizers said all the buildings would be ready Thursday, barely a week before the games open.The village will accommodate about 18,000 athletes and staff with a dining room serving 60,000 meals daily.After criticizing the conditions, Australia has spent two days trying to befriend Brazilians.It was nothing ever against the Brazilian people, Tancred said. It was just a matter that we had to make sure it was all safe for our athletes. But its a fantastic village, and weve always said that.The head of Australias delegation Killy Chiller said the team complained publicly after working behind the scenes with teams that also had problems. She listed seven other delegations: Britain, New Zealand, Germany, Belgium, Brazil, Japan and the Netherlands.Argentina and Belarus have also complained openly about the conditions.Gerardo Werthein, the president of the Argentina Olympic committee, said on Monday that two of five floors in his building were uninhabitable.Ours is one of the most affected buildings, as is the Australia one, Werthein said.Tancred said Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes would hand the team an official key on Wednesday. Paes harshly criticized Australia, then backed down and said their building was one of the worst prepared in the village.He sarcastically said he was tempted to put a kangaroo jumping outside the Australians building to make them happy.As it turns out, the mayor will be getting his own gift.Were going to give him the boxing kangaroo as a gift, Tancred said.---Stephen Wade on Twitter: http://twitter.com/StephenWadeAP .

The free agent from Gatineau, Que., has agreed to terms on a two-year contract with the Montreal Canadiens. The Philadelphia Flyers used a compliance buy-out last week on the final two years of an eight-year, US$52 million deal Briere signed in 2007. Because he turned down an offer from the Canadiens to sign with the Flyers that year, Briere was booed whenever Philadelphia visited Montreal. Now, hes a Canadien, returning to his native Quebec on a deal reportedly worth $4 million per season. "For me, the Montreal Canadiens fans are probably the most passionate fans in the NHL," Briere said on a conference call Thursday night. "Its an honour to be playing for them, in front of them, and all Im hoping is that we will all be cheering in the same direction when the seasons starts." The 35-year-old Briere had reportedly narrowed his list of potential destinations to the Canadiens, New Jersey Devils and Nashville Predators. "Daniel Briere brings a great deal of skills, experience and leadership to our team and he is a significant addition to our group of forwards," Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin said in a statement. "Daniel showed a great desire to pursue his career in Montreal and we are very happyy that he committed to playing in Montreal for the next two seasons.dddddddddddd" Initial reaction to the deal was mixed among Canadiens fans, with some welcoming his skill and experience and others concerned that the five-foot-10, 181-pound Briere adds another small body to an already smaller than average team. Others worry about his declining offensive production. Briere had only six goals and 10 assists in the lockout shortened 2013 season and has had concussion issues in recent years. "Last season with the short season, starting behind everybody because of injuries, I am definitely looking forward to bouncing back. Ive done that my whole life, my whole career," Briere said. "Its always been about finding the motivation to bounce back. Coming to Montreal makes it really easy, first of all. Having the chance to play for the Canadiens, I think theres no better motivation than that. "(2013) definitely was a season where I wasnt happy the way things went and Im going to do everything in my power to turn that around." Briere has 282 goals and 373 assists in 847 career NHL games, but was mostly coveted for his post-season play. In the Flyers run to the Stanley Cup final in 2010, Briere had 12 goals and 18 assists in 23 games. In 108 career post-season games, he has 50 goals and 59 assists.
