Winter Olympics

The Super Bowl is over and college basketball teams are in the midst of their conference slates and the world of sports is shifting its focus to the Winter Olympic games being hosted by Russia in the city of Sochi. Although there is definitely some political turmoil revolving around Russia's anti-gay propaganda law, the threat of terrorism, and some inadequcies of some of the housing situations of the athletes and media, the power of sport will overcome.

The competitions actually started yesterday with the debut of two new events; snowboarding slopestyle and the first part of the team figure skating competition.  The opening ceremonies are tonight and I am really looking forward to see what Russia has in store.

I really enjoy the winter olympics because although there is a lot going on it's not as overwhelming event overload as the summer olympics. Plus with the twelve new events this year I think the games are going to be exciting to watch.

Let the games begin!!
