Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics Thread

[bryant.coleman]

Why was the media showing only the bad things about Sochi? They made it look it was the worst place in the world.

It IS in Russia

The homosexual lobby is against the games in Sochi, because in Russia indoctrinating minor children with gay propaganda is banned. But the same people will remain quiet when Qatar conducts the FIFA World Cup in 2022. (In Qatar, homosexuals are executed with or without trial).

russian made olympics kinda funny from pictures in every room of their president to brother toilets. and gay ban...

[bryant.coleman]

Russia ==> 4 golds
Belarus ==> 3 golds

Russia + Belarus ==> Top of the table.

Ahh,,this year ice hockey sucks..

Russia and US in the same group... has to watch the match between both of them.

USA v Russia on 2/15 at 7:00am EST.....super excited.  I think this year is going to be great for hockey!  There are essentially 4 top teams: USA, Canada, Russia and Sweden that should go to the medal games.  With Zetterberg out it could hurt Swedens chances, but I think it will be a great year for Olympic hockey

Yeah Sweden would have a considerably stronger lineup if injuries didn't hit Henrik Sedin, Johan Franzen and Henrik Zetterberg. Two Sedin twins on the ice is preferable to one twin.

Can't believe we (Russia) lost to Finland so bad...3-1. Played too offensively at the beginning and let in 3 goals quickly. Really sad because we had the momentum for the rest of the game but couldn't score anything. The Fins were the better team though, and they played as a team, especially when they were defending while the Russians were quite disorganized after those goals. Host country won't even get a medal I share Putin's reaction.

Yup, and Canada barely squeaked past Latvia. That USA/Canada semi-final will be very interesting... I'd bet on USA to pass to the final.

this picture says it all for the whole Olympics this year. ive been so disapointed.

[Frost000]

I can honestly say that I haven't watched enough of the Olympics to be disappointed or not. All I've watched is hockey.

I heard that they killed every stray dog in city before olympics. Is that true?

[bryant.coleman]

Did anyone heard of the incident where Cossacks horsewhipped some lunatics in Sochi?

That's not a whip. That is "nagayka" - wooden handle, leather rope, metal tip. Old thing for hunting. Armed cavalier was to hit the wolf's head with this device, killing it.
Ah, lets stay about olympics, not this "perfomance" actions.

Congratulations Canada for ice hockey gold!
You had a strong lineup and played well in the deciding games.

Hell yes for Canada! Good game; they did a good job at shutting down Sweden at the right moments.

Interesting Olympics. The hot climate gave produced some problems, for snow boarders such as Shaun White for example.
The accommodation problems showed that the Olympic Committee perhaps should be less open to let cities without winter sports experience host the games.
Overall I enjoyed the games a lot though, it is hard to demolish the intense excitement and friendly spirit that the that Olympics is accompanied with.

Not sure if there are any Jimmy Kimmel fans in here, but he pranked the Olympics HARD!

Kate Hansen from the States gave him access to her twitter account and he posted this as her:

Wolf in my hall?!? #SochiProblems #SochiFail http://youtu.be/3qZA-xOeQmE

The media jumped all over it and freaked out.

The video was actually taken on a sound stage where Kimmel is shot. They recreated the Olympic hallway.

Heres the video from Kimmel, LOL!

Wow can't believe Olympics are over already. So short. Canada-Sweden game was good although the Canadians dismantled everyone. I'm happy that my home country got #1 in medals, would be a bit awkward if we didn't considering we're the host.

It's funny that so many people actually bought it.  Actually, its funny and sad all at the same time.  The internet is turning many people into idiots.  They see something on the net and take it at face value without asking questions.  Some of what people believe because it's posted on the net is actually scary and could potentially endanger their lives. 

Remember people, don't believe everything you see on the internet, thats how WWII got started.
