*****OFFICIAL 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics Discussion Thread*****

I've heard things are scheduled at odd hours over there.

A lot of stuff is packed into every day, just like at each of the Olympics. Stuff is constantly going on all through the days and evenings for basically two weeks. Some strange scheduling hours naturally result.

 
I like this opening ceremony a lot so far. The map on the floor with the athletes walking out of their home country was a nice idea. It doesn't translate too well to TV since they don't do too many pulled back shots, but in the stadium I'll bet it's fantastic. Also, I'm guessing they're selling roasted stray dog on a stick if people get hungry, so you can't beat that!

 
Team USA once again proving we can make butt ugly uniforms with the best of 'em. The only good thing I can say about them is I've seen worse.

It was a strange sun, I agree. It makes me wonder if that's a normal way to stylize the sun in Russia. I love the projectors doing their thing on the floor. Fantastic.

 
lol, fail NBC yet again. "We're too lazy to provide the full translation, so we'll just summarize entire paragraphs with a few words."

 
Opening ceremony was TREMENDOUS!!! Much more better than 2002 Salt Lake City opening ceremony.

Except one minor glitch.......one out of five Olympic circle was partially failed (snowflake stuck), I say Russian's got the right stuff

I'm pretty confident in saying that was easily the best Winter Opening Ceremony ever. Very nice, and very much in the spirit of the Winter Olympics in a lot of ways.
