lol, stop hating on russia guys. if you follow the principals above there wouldnt be too many contries left who can host them. but ofcourse media is gonna do everything they can to drag russias olympics in the dirt, not to mention exaggerating every minor issue. but russia is still doing a way better job then most other contries, look at the shitstorm the games caused in brasil, look at the arenas built in quatar.
and omg i cant believe how much this gaystuff in russia is rubbed in your face prior to the olypics, being gay is not even a crime in russia, and gaybashing cant be blamed on the goverment, and it happens in every contry, its simply crime. while other contries who have far more sharp laws against gays go completly unreported, like saudi arabia (death penalty) not to mention womens rights, quatar, india, nigeria etc. but i guess human rights dont matter aslong as you are an u.s. allie or selling oil to them. hypocratical shit biased media and politics, worst thing is pople are eating it up like sheep.
i hope russia has beautiful and succesfull olypics!
