I sent them an email. My German is really bad, so I hope Namensvorschlag means what I think it does and not "YOUR COUNTRY EARNS GOLDS IN TURD-EATING CONTEST IN SOCHI"

Well the Russian women's hockey team is shoving turds down Germany's collective mouths right now and asking them how it tastes. "Good, da?"

I think it's pretty much guaranteed that the Canadian women's hockey team will poo poo and piss down every other team's collective mouths.

My kid had asked us what we were laughing at so much while we were reading this thread, so we told her all about the shoddy hotels, the death courses, the dogs. She went off to play with some modeling clay, and a little while later produced this:

Sochi dogs! So cute and friendly!


...until one of the skiers eats it on a jump.


"He's screaming and holding his knee!" She chirps helpfully.


And, apparently, trying to fend off the starving dogs with one of his ski poles. :pwn:

can the athlete decide in biathlon if he/she wants to stand or lie down while shooting? or does it change each round?

Apparently all of the livestreams are like this on the CBC website - everyone's privy to the behind-the-scenes chitchat during the non-existent commercials. I doubt that it'll be as juicy during the games as during the opening (when everyone was full of anticipation), but you might want to be ready for the closing ceremony.
Looks like they're inserting commercials into the webcast now as I'm watching the Women's 7k Biathlon and it's popped in commercials.

Are they still doing biathalon stuff? I wanted to catch that, I had a TA in college who was going to be on the USSR biathalon team before the whole collapse of the soviet union thing. They'd take him to a nearby Red Army base to work on the shooting and whatnot, it sounded pretty crazy.

Motherfucker looked exactly like David Bowie, too, it was uncanny.

If 'An Idiot Abroad' is to be trusted, it's crowded, loud, you'll be forced to sleep in the bedroom-closet of a drag queen because 'that's the tradition', and when you finally run away to a nice quiet beach to watch the sunrise in peace, you'll get continuously mooned by the concessions guy who's literally only wearing a polo shirt as he gets his concessions stand set up.

Because it's a nude beach.

The people running the country are nearly as corrupt as the ones running Russia. It's also got a kidnapping industry to rival Mexico's, which really makes it a weird choice for a place to bring a shitload of tourists to.

Watch City of God and Elite Squad 2.

Also there's a few docs floating around about Rio (Vice Guide to Travel, and World's Scariest Gangs or something) where they showed every side of the Rio drug war to be hell. From medieval prisons where inmates are packed 30 to a cell (and are regularly murdered/beheaded), to cops shooting teenagers in broad daylight, and gangs throwing enemies/journalists into stacked tires then pouring gas and lighting it.

Actually, watch the first Elite Squad as well. The whole movie is centered around Pope John Paul II's visit in the '90s, where he spent a single night at the Archbishop's home near the Morro dos Prazeres. BOPE went out on a major military operation leading up to that. You're going to want to see it because that's exactly what's happening for the World Cup this year and the 2016 Olympics.
