Journalists have arrived and are starting to cover the Sochi 2014 winter Olympics. After early reports doubting the city's preparedness for the big game(s) and human rights protests across Russia, press at Sochi are naturally a bit concerned. As these tweets gathered by the Washington Post show, they had every right.

Irish light flyweight boxer Paddy Barnes goes face-to-face with British heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
Seems like a fair fight.

GJ, Sochi utilities committee, GJ...
Russia's unpreparedness for the Sochi Olympics has been widely publicized, but now it seems like their shoddy construction runs right down the bathroom doors in the Olympic village.
American bobsledder Johnny Quinn got trapped in one of the bathrooms because the door jammed. Thankfully, Quinn's bobsled training involved a lot of... ahem... forceful thrusting. Rather than face a slow, agonizing death in a Sochi dook hut, Quinn used himself as a battering ram to break through the door to freedom.
After all, he's an American! He knows all about freedom!
Saturday Night star Leslie Jones has resurfaced on Twitter just in time to live-tweet all the action of the 2016 Olympics.
Leslie Jones is taking on every Olympic sport and rooting on team USA with a terrifying passion. Her love of the Olympics has gained the attention of the Internet and has earned her a personal invite from NBC Rio Olympics producer Jim Bell.
We really hope this is not a joke. The Rio Olympics NEED a little Leslie Jones commentary

I did this thing where I laughed out loud at an Olympics joke and I thought up a really great term for it called Roflympics everyone should start using it right now before the Olympics are over.
