THE 2014 WINTER OLYMPIC GAMES IN SOCHI, RUSSIA

And so the Olympic Games left London, England far behind to take up residence in Sochi, Russia.  And in the former Soviet Union, the 2014 Winter Olympic Games continues the first week of a two week tenure on Russian soil.  Today is the chance for the United States of America to win plenty of Gold Medals on Russian soil.  Today is the chance to risk life and limb performing dangerous life endangering acrobatic stunts on while skiing, snowboarding, ice skating and a variety of other methods and approaches.  And with the Olympic Flames burning bright, all I can say is let the games begin.  Let the best man and woman prevail.  Today is the day for multi-national unity as the Olympic flame burns brightly in the heart of Sochi, Russia.
