Right winger Strache will also visit the Olympics, because he says the Olympics should be about sports, not politics.

Those stadiums look impressive. Opening ceremony now!

Outrageous. Tolstoy must share letter with television, but Chekhov beats Tchaikovsky for Ч, good!

One ring didn't expand and the olympic logo failed. I'm sure the western media will focus on that instead of the honestly quite good opening.

They weren't quite good. A ring failed & the Olympic Logo was not completed.

Vancouver had a similar mishap during their when a pillar that I believe Catrina le May Doan was at didn't rise when it was supposed to.  They made light of it in the closing ceremonies when they had some clowns or something come out and pretend to fix it.  I expect Russia's response to their mishap to be somewhat different.

I'm guessing execution or gulag.

Looks like gay propaganda to me.

A 2007 speech by Putin, in English, presenting Sochi's bid. He's rather intense. :ph34r:

Austrian TV is showing the opening ceremony on commercial station ATV which doesn't have an online stream. And I'm too lazy to turn on the TV.
