2014 Sochi Olympics

The 2014 Winter Olympics came to a close on Sunday with the host nation on top of the medal standings. Here's a recap of the final weekend of the Sochi Games:

For the second consecutive day, a Canadian hockey team has defeated the United States, denying them the gold medal.  Yesterday, the women's hockey team defeated the United States in overtime to win the gold.  Today, the United States men fell to Canada to prevent them from playing for the gold medal.

The United States women's hockey team held a 2 goal lead with just over 3 minutes remaining in the gold medal game, but Canada rallied to force overtime and then take home the gold.

From Russia's controversial stance on homosexuality to locked bathrooms to an almost wardrobe malfunction to bizarre toilets, the Winter Games have had no shortage of odd stories.

I have always admired lugers, that has got to be exhilarating, racing down an icy tube with no restraints or protection except a helmet.  Their body muscles have GOT to be amazing!  They have to fight the centrifugal force with every fiber of their being at speeds of over 70mph.  How do they prepare for such a dangerous ride?  Kate Hansen has a very unique way and with good reason.

If the horrible snow conditions at the Sochi games weren't enough, what if the Olympians were being fired at by the Empire's AT-AT's.   God I love being a nerd.  This is great.

The Band Perry's 'Better Dig Two' has made it to the Olympics, but it's not what you think!

Figure skaters move as elegantly as any athletes on the planet. So naturally the Internet has added the perfect touch to their performances: fart sounds.

John Shuster still doesn't look comfortable with the Ice. He isn't missing these huge shots, but it looks to me like he is not confident with the curl yet. It's been hard to keep up with him. He is playing at a normal hour, but when I got up at 4 in the morning, he was in the third end.

1960 did it and 1980 had a determined team. Everyone knows the story of the Miracle on ice. The 1980 Olympic team, made up of kids. Times have changed and now the men's hockey teams are made up of NHL players and other professionals.

The Sochi Olympics are underway and we've heard of the need for increased security as well as how many of the hotel rooms were not ready or inadequate.  But, there is a lot more to these games than that.
