I heard the red ring (representing America) didn't open as some kind of insult.

Also did anyone noticed the new power structure alliance between Japan and Russia? Japanese TV don't cover the Sochi shitty hotel room, Japan was placed right behind Russia in opening Ceremony, Japanese team holding Russians flags, Japanese team singing Katusha in romanized moe form.
Japan is Япония in Russian. Я is the last letter of Russian alphabet. All teams came out in alpabetical order EXCEPT JAPAN.
Also the leaders of China (who also showed Russian flag) and Japan were next to Putin during the entire thing.

What is this? Axis of evil?

nice dancer cameltoe too

one ring malfunctioned but was restored, plz no politics in olympics thread

So what is the event schedule?

>>389265
10:20 Canada wins gold
11:00 Canada wins gold
11:20 Canada wins gold
12:00 Canada wins gold
12:20 Canada wins gold

That was the best winter opening in ages.
Hell, I'd say it topped the London summer opening.

Then again, I'm a sucker for that gorgeous Russian music.

I couldn't care less about the politics, the opening was amazing. The showcase of technology and engineering was stunning, the athleticism and precision of the performers was spectacular, and the music was gorgeous. As always for an Opening Ceremony, I spent much of those several hours with my jaw dropped and my tear ducts loose, which is pretty impressive for a miserly jerk like me.

Apparently, the malfunctioning ring was edited out for Russian audiences, spliced in with footage from a rehearsal. I could comment on how this seems like something North Korea would do, but all I can think of is:

Putin: There are five rings. How many rings do you see?
Picard: THERE! ARE! *FOUR!* RINGS!

Now all the Olympic Athlete can really feel like Superman!

How is that the important part? The news of that is a guy who manages to lock himself in a room then breaks through a door with his head. What kind of neanderthal is this?

>>389312
Because it shows the amount of care that went into making these accommodations.
A strong person breaking through a cardboard door...truthfully, that's not really the most interesting thing to happen.

>>389332
It's not a Marriott or a Hilton bro, these are one and two star hotels with cheap bulk prices with nine beds per room for whole teams of journalists or sportsmen. The only difference between these places and a motel with a styrofoam door is that they offer a pool, nearby restaurant and (shitty) room service. Complaining about the structure of a bathroom door is retarded.

Bigger story is the damage this dude did to the room and to the reputation of the team. Honestly I'd be surprised if they didn't lose a few sponsors over this.

>>389340
Compare that pic with a 4 star.

You get what you pay for....

>>389340
Well according to another tweet by a teammate, dude was bathing and had no clothes.

>>389297

Sochi organizers already ran out of the 100,000 free condoms stocked up for the athletes. That's 30-50 condoms for every male athlete.

Tinder is fucking burning over there.

>>389606
I once read an article that talked about how Olympic athletes, for the most part, when they aren't competing, are fucking each other like rabbits. Just like mass orgies or some shit, since this is possibly the first time in their life that they have extensive unsupervised free time around other people, and also all the competition and athleticism has hormones raging.
It was a pretty cool read.

>>389581
Indeed, would cuddle with.

>>389607
Well... there are maybe 35000 incredibly hot, athletic people grouped together in a place with NOTHING to do, high from adrenaline of competition, having to watch each other in skintight suits. Sure there are clubs at Sochi, but all the hottest people are in athletes housing anyway. It's really not hard to imagine what happens, even without really cool apps like tinder.

There's apparently somewhere a vid on the net of some communal shower room in Sochi with people making out, I'm trying real hard to find it.

>>389622
Godspeed.

Fucking embarrassing...

>>389858
No. Canada's been awesome all month long.

Mexico? We had ONE competitor. From Austria. The guy was born while his parents were on holiday.
He was in fucking Giant Slalom and took forever to make it halfway. And not only that, the guy fell and didn't even finish.
THAT'S dissappointing.

Oh Russia...

>>389881
>choreographing jokes aimed at self
Only in Russia.

the mascots were a bit scary

>>389898
Even so, it was very elegant for something like that and technically impressive with all those animatronics.

>>389899
yea the size impressed me with how they worked.

>>389889
>>389881
Was slightly buzzed when watching that and the moving floor blew my mind.

Yep.
That fuggin' ceremony was gorgeously done.
