A little satire
http://dailycurrant.com/2014/02/08/m...dead-in-sochi/
Quote:
The man responsible for operating the Olympic Rings during last night’s Winter Olympic Opening Ceremonies in Russia was found dead today.
According to local reports the body of T. Borris Avdeyev was found his hotel room early this morning with multiple stab wounds.
Avdeyev was a technical specialist responsible for the Olympic Ring spectacle, which embarrassingly malfunctioned last night. Five animatronic snowflakes were supposed to transform into Olympic Rings. The first four functioned properly but the fifth snowflake failed to change shape.
Although his body was badly mangled and the wounds were consistent with a struggle, so far officials say they don't suspect foul play.

I enjoyed these photos floating around the twitter feed on #SochiFail. Russian police/military comedy. First, the guys getting ready for their shift with a basket full of vodka, and second, the guy 'inspecting' his firearm. Russia's finest, on the spot, ready for service!

SPOILER ALERT -
What an amazing shootout for TJ Oshie today as the USA beat Russia. After being tied following the initial 3 attempts, Oshie was the lone US player to continue in the shootout, finally winning in the 8th round. I would say he has ice water running through his veins, but the are a few guys here that make the insane routine - like jumping out of planes at night, ect. TJ seems to get it.
@Dejan_Kovacevic
Just had good talk with America's newest hero. Only don't call T.J. Oshie that. "The American heroes are wearing camo. That's not me."
