New event. Design the most illegal possible winter pants. Canada's were covered with unlicensed guns and uranium. A really impressive showing, really.

You would have figured that would be the American entry.

Ah, well, you see all of the stuff was stolen from the US to make the pants even more illegal.

A really brilliant play.

I can't wait to see the Formula 1 race that will have cars zooming right through Fisht Stadium in Sochi...

Those Canadians *are* clever!

It doesn't go through the stadium, does it?

I heard the ends of the stadium are removable, so yeah it will.

So what were everyone's favorite moments of the Sochi games?

I'd say for me it was the Canadian coach helping the Russian cross country skier after he broke his ski. We all love to display our nationalism during the games, but I think the moments where we display our humanity are really the best.

Honorable mention to Sotnikova's skating routine which was just brilliant. Sadly, I've been working 60-65 hours for the past several weeks, so I think I've watched less during these games than any Winter games I can remember.

Ashley Wagner could get it, lol.

Glad we finished second in total medals though!

Yep. That was it for me too.

Enjoyed the look of elation on the Russian women's figure skater's face after she finished her free skate as well.

Anyone else see the story on Jessica-Tatyana Long? Pretty awesome.

Watching it now. A real tearjerker.

Gotta love that they can poke fun at themselves. Respect for whoever put that in the ceremony.

huh. Slovakia protested it as well, but the case was never heard,
as there is a 15 minute time limit to protest the event.

The agony of defeat.

Except that Irish skeleton guy. That was pretty fucking impressive.

I also liked the Indian luger who managed to get back on and finish the run.
