THE 2014 WINTER OLYMPIC GAMES IN SOCHI, RUSSIA

President Vladimir Putin is currently President of Russia.  He's also hosting the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia.  Though he isn't married, there's a rumor that he's dating a former gymnastics athlete named Alina Kabayeva who has the potential of becoming the unofficial First Lady of Russia.

And with the Opening Ceremony for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia behind us all, the time has come for the Women's Freestyle Downhill Skiing Finals.  Yeah, I know it's weird to be having the Women's Freestyle Downhill Skiing Finals the very next day after the Opening Ceremony.  However, the 2014 Winter Olympic Games is only two weeks long and there's a lot of events left to hold competitions for.  And so here are the highlights of the Women's Freestyle Downhill Skiing Finals in Sochi, Russia.
