Which is a bit rich seeing as a 1/4 of the GB team in 2012 were not British 5 years ago.

Was watching a re run this morning, was pretty shocked when I heard him recounting his thoughts on him.

Apparently the athletes accommodation and some of the hotels are in a terrible state. The IOC are fuming over it, very embarrassing for Russia.

I know yea, seemingly its dog rough, but thats what you get for giving anything to russia

There was a mention of a persons eligabilty the other day, not sure it it applied to the summer or winter games, where if someone claiming citizenship, it was alright as long as they were not replacing someone else, who may have been inferior.

For a country so anti-gay, Russia is tremendously camp.

I wouldn't be surprised if caged shirtless lithe men descended from the stadium roof, grinding to the back-beats.

Are there even that many people in the stadium? There looks to be thousands of empty seats.

It's pretty grim really

That's how Putin plans on getting down to the podium later.

At $1000 per ticket (according to BBC News) for the just the cheap seats, I'm not surprised. God knows what you'd pay for seats with a decent view.

way to feck up waving the flag

Edit: Best of luck lads

I'm actually thinking all the empty seats are for the athletes??

Looks like some are filing into them.

Hard to tell for sure.

My god how bad a PR disaster is this for Russia, Stadium half full, facilities a complete joke and not even finished, spent over 30 billion and facilities still terrible, the entire attention they have brought onto their awful human rights situation and treatment of homosexuals. Fair to Say Russia have got this badly badly wrong it has nothing on London 2012.

The size of Canada's team compared to others so far :pac:

Mens and Womens Ice Hockey will pad that out.

There should be an Olympic Games opening ceremony drinking game. Take a shot every time a county you never even knew existed appears with their flag. I'd be hammered before they got past the "C's"

They have 220 athletes in Sochi.

So unless they've brought 200 hockey players....
