Heard somebody say it's a matter of when, and not if, it will happen.

Knowing how dumb russian people are, I'm pretty certain something will happen. All the security will be busy getting drunk off vodka or something, and woooops, some guy blew himself up.

Wow, I can't believe it's been four years since Vancouver. I was so lucky to go to those games and had a ton of fun. It really is interesting to see the events in person.

From everything I've heard, the corruption siphoned lots of funds from infrastructure and building projects. I suspect there will be some mess.

 

[mizzou]

Too bad there won't be any dogs to see opening day.

 

[iamwiz82]

At least it is warm, 55F on Sunday. Perfect Winter Olympics weather!

Provide clean water for life for 1.6 billion people...nah, let's have sports for two weeks!

$25 per person to provide clean water for life, on average.

Fuck the olympics and the overblown cost.
