The 2014 Winter Olympics have officially ended. At every year’s Olympic Games problems occur, from a false penalty in the Beijing Olympics to the death of a luger in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, but the 50 billion dollar Sochi Olympics seemed to be exceptional in that regard.

Some Olympic athletes as well as journalists spread the news of the difficulties all over different social media sites.

“My hotel has no water,” tweeted Stacy St. Clair of the Chicago Tribune. “If restored, the front desk says, ‘do not use on your face because it contains something very dangerous.” When the water returned, she tweeted a picture of it which was the color of apple juice along with the hashtag Sochi2014.

Greg Wyshynski, editor of the Puck Daddy blog on Yahoo! Sports, tweeted “People have asked me what surprised me the most here in Sochi. It’s this. Without a question…it’s…THIS,” along with a picture posted in the bathroom asking people to put their used toilet paper in the bucket provided instead of flushing it down the toilet.

Senior International Correspondent for The Globe and Mail, Mark Mackinnon, tweeted that his hotel doesn’t even have a lobby yet.

Another Yahoo! Sports columnist, Dan Wetzel, offered to trade three light bulbs over Twitter for a functioning door handle because he does not have one. Everyday items such as light bulbs and door handles appeared to be hard to find at the hotels in Sochi.

Johnny Quinn, a Team USA bobsledder, posted on Twitter about getting locked into the bathroom while he was taking a shower. He tweeted, “With no phone to call for help, I used my bobsled push training to break out,” with a picture of a completely destroyed door.

A Twitter account was created dedicated to the issues in Sochi, @sochiproblems, which gained over three hundred thousand followers.

Harry Reekie of CNN tweeted, “CNN booked 11 rooms in one @Sochi2014 media hotel five months ago. We have been here for a day and only one room is available. #cnnsochi”

The living conditions were not the only thing falling apart at the Sochi Olympics. Shaun White was going for his third straight gold medal in the slope style event this year, but he decided to drop out because of the poor conditions on the course in fear of being injured.

White released a statement through his publicist to the Today Show about dropping out. “After much deliberation with my team, I have made the decision to focus solely on trying to bring home the third straight gold medal in halfpipe for Team USA. The difficult decision to forego slopestyle is not one I take lightly as I know how much effort everyone has put into holding the slopestyle event for the first time in Olympic history, a history I had planned on being a part of.”

White also added, “However, with the practice runs I have taken, even after course modifications and watching fellow athletes get hurt, the potential risk of injury is a bit too much for me to gamble my other Olympic goals on.”

White dropped because too many people were getting injured. Fifteen year-old Maggie Voisin, a freestyle skier for the U.S., left the Games because of an ankle injury. An article in New York Daily News written February 7th by Wayne Coffey, said that twenty one year-old Heidi Kloser, an American moguls skier, was also injured within the first three seconds of the run being open. She fell after the first jump, tearing her ACL, MCL, and fracturing her femur.

Not only were there several hotel mishaps and injuries, but Sochi also had a huge stray dog issue. Kirit Radia wrote in “Sochi Culling Stray Dogs Ahead of the Olympics” for ABC news, “the city of Sochi has quietly hired a private (unidentified) company to kill as many of its stray dogs as possible ahead of the upcoming winter Olympics.” Alexei Sorokin, the owner of the company reportedly stated, “Imagine, if during an Olympic game, a ski jumper laded 130 kilometers an hour and a dog runs into him when he lands. It would be deadly for both a jumper and for the stray dog.ny told ABC, ” While this may be true, animal rights activists all over the world are responding.

The Sochi Olympics will doubtless be remembered for everything for everything that went awry.
