    I shit so much, I'd probably carry around one of those fold-able squatters every where I went. Along with some quality TP.

    These are typical mid level accommodations in Europe. They also have a lot of doubles/triples. I see a bunch of spoiled journalists on expense account having to live like the rest of the world.

    The common areas and the areas in and around the village are supposedly pretty nice, except for the things that aren't finished.

    That's fine if that was what it was billed as but Russia has spent $51 billion on these games, they've hyped this up to be the greatest and most extravagant games ever. So far it's a hilarious and epic fail.

    European hotels are a step down but these athlete accommodations are just rooms with (single) beds. I don't think it is unreasonable to expect a desk or table or the slightest bit of decoration. The size of the rooms suggests they might've originally had bigger plans for them (kitchenettes, dining tables, sofas?) that were scrapped.

    As for CNN not getting the 11 rooms they booked I'd file that complaint under who cares?

    Good God. How did the IOC choose Sochi in the 1st place? I wonder how Salzburg, Austria and Pyeongchang, South Korea feel about losing to these jackasses.

    Sochi won the bid in 2007. So in 7 years they can't provide toilets that flush toilet paper, non-dangerous face washing tap water, ski lifts that work longer than half a day, doors with doorknobs that stay on, hotels with lobby's that are finished, rooms for people who had booked rooms half a year ago, etc...??? I mean, why not just hold the winter Olympics in downtown Detroit with five days notice?

    I bet this is Russia's grand plan. Give the athletes of every other country shit accommodations and hope it effects their performance.

    If this is their level of ineptitude I wouldn't even feel safe being there. Really hope nothing bad happens.

    It mentions it in the article but it's worth repeating that extermination crews are currently working to rid the city of thousands of stray dogs.

    Did they just release the North and South Korean Olympic teams armed with hibachis?

    The 2022 World Cup in Russia will likely be a regular laugh riot as well.

    Did you mean to say Qatar? $51B is a drop in the bucket compared to what those guys will be spending.

    This may be the greatest bathroom sign ever. Some snowboarder from Canada tweeted it.
