My updated predictions for this Olympics is an over/under for terrorist attacks at 3, deaths at an over/under of 25, and Russia is made a laughingstock of the entire world. Even China laughs.

How the hell did Russia convince the IOC they could hold the winter olympics?

I'm assuming massive bribes, but is there a technical reason?

Musical hotel rooms
Wild dog run
Dodge a Russian cop

For the record, Sochi was awarded the Olympics back in 2007, so you can understand how tight the deadline has been to get stuff ready.

Good article. I learned this Olympics is a mere 40 billion over budget (51 billion total now). How about that!

Best thread.

I was genuinely surprised to learn that not only are there palm trees in Russia (WTF?) but that's where Russia chose to have the Winter Olympics - in the only place in their country with palm trees.

Someone's getting trolled.

The palm trees are probably fake, now that I consider it.

The wild dogs might be the only real thing in Sochi.
