I just saw the opening, it was awesome introducing the athletes from each country and a large play about Russia's history and ending with the torch reaching it's destination.
The news about the proposal of thousands of stray dogs being killed for this is sad though.

The mayor of Sochi looks like a human/bulldog hybrid.

It seems like such a scary place to be if you are gay.The people who have come out of the closet in Russia must be really brave.
