Just validation that the Cold War was a complete sham. American public fooled into thinking Russians were a big threat. More fuel for the military industrial complex. These people can't get toilet paper right!!

Russian Official Lets It Slip That There Are Cameras In the Olympic Hotel Bathrooms


Dmitry Kozak, the deputy prime minister responsible for the Olympic preparations, reflected the view held among many Russian officials that some Western visitors are deliberately trying to sabotage Sochi's big debut out of bias against Russia. "We have surveillance video from the hotels that shows people turn on the shower, direct the nozzle at the wall and then leave the room for the whole day," he said. An aide then pulled a reporter away before Mr. Kozak could be questioned further on surveillance in hotel rooms. "We're doing a tour of the media center," the aide said.

Team figure skating in the Olympics? I didn't even know it was a sport.

Just show me the downhill, luge, and hockey medal games

i don't think i've watched figure skating since i moved out of my parents' house. mom loves the stuff.

no curling?

i'll be watching the hockey...not much else i'd imagine. top gear had an excellent idea for bi-athlon. i'd do it if one could drive and then shoot!

Thanks, forgot curling, I don't mind the mob speed skating event, not the timed one, it's where 4-5 guys go at once

Bobsled, Luge, Skeleton and Downhill for me. Used to love hockey when we sent amateurs now not so much.

So you used to like watching the US get pummeled with the obvious exception of 1980?

Skier Cross is one of the best sports around!
