The terrorist attacks that were probably manufactured by Putin to make the Olympics interesting?

It was all a ploy so Russian PMC's could say "Look how safe we made those Olympics after the terrorist attacks. Hire us!".

Most of the athletes were happy with the arrangements. The loudest complaints I heard were about the halfpipe not being up to international standards during the first week. Some of the ski jumps also hadn't been tested at the speeds that top athletes would be coming down at and they had to be changed at last minute. I also heard some criticism from cross country skiers about the ski track turning into slush in the warm weather after a few skiers and even though the worst trouble spots were reported during training the organizers didn't place staff to repair the damages during the race. I think one athlete tripped and broke a ski because of this.

That's pretty much par for the course for Olympics, there are always gently caress ups.

Vancouver had the luge track of death and the malfunctioning torch, and probably a few other logistic issues.

Apparently the curling stadium is "portable." I can only assume so a plutocrat can sell it to a country that actually cares about curling.

Hey, the Closing Ceremony is boring enough on its own. The glorious rodina needs no yankee pigdog 'assistance' in making it more boring.

Not to mention being another item which was more expensive than any previous Olympics, even the one is Beijing.

On a side note I wonder how long until the Sochi buildings match the rapid decay since in the leftover Athens or Beijing facilities?

But really the closing wasn't That Bad. Hard to come up with family friendly poo poo that all countries would dig.
