The 2014 Winter Olympics are history. It’s been an interesting ride, beginning last summer when Russia banned “distribution of non-traditional sexual relation propaganda.” This, of course, only resulted in more attention on a subject Russia wanted to hush up. Then there was the cost of the 2014 Games, which was more than the other 21 Winter Olympics combined. Apparently, even when you say, “Spare no expense,” it doesn’t buy you finished hotels, functional bathrooms, completed roads or even running water. And Russia probably should have reconsidered holding snowboarding and skiing events at Krasnaya Polyana. When you wipe out an ethnic group you find annoying, steal their land and name the place where you dispatched them “Red Hill,” it’s bound to come back and bite you someday.
