Wayne Gretzkys ridicuous ride to light the torch

I think their are issues in socchi but the media loves a disaster story so we should wait until the games at least start before condemning them
Those concerns aren't even remotely comparable.

The Olympics scare me this year. It seems like everyone is waiting for the other shoe to drop.
