        Aren't there some terrorist issues they have been having over there as well?

        Seriously, I don't care about any sports, and didn't even know where Sochi is until I had coffee with a friend last week who met her husband (another Canadian) at one of the international hockey games in Russia in the early 70's. This friend used to be a nun......but I digress.......

        Anywho, she told me that there were some terror issues going on over there, too.

          There have been credible terrorist threats, yes.

            If they can't even supply reporters and athletes with decent accommodations and essentials like food and water, how dangerous are the events going to be? Will the ski jumps and bob sledding tracks collapse?

            A couple of athletes have already injured themselves just in practicing and at least one guy withdrew saying the ski slope track was unsafe.

            I think they should just pull out altogether and start over next year somewhere else.
            Is there an Olympics going on?

              I learned about it here.

                they should add bee racing and bacon eating to the summer olympics.

                  The winter Olympics never has anything interesting anyway.

                    I like the figure skating, the bob sledding, and the speed skaters. They're cool.

                      What's that thing where they slide the tea kettle down a runway, and it tries to get in the way of their sweeping?

                            You've never seen the start them - first they have to catch up, then it follows them.


                            Curling starts Monday!!!!

                              Is it me or am I the only one seeing the obvious cold war 2.0 propaganda? The latest fearmongering hysteria is al-qaeda attacking Sochi tourists with toothpaste bombs lol.
