These images show the teams from Russia, the Ukraine, Moldova, and Belarus at a Molieben served by HH prior to the Games. At present, the USA and Russia are in a tie for the number of medals, at 18 apiece. If we total together the teams from the Old USSR (“Team Eurasia”), they whip the loudmouth arrogantAmerikantsy 26 to 18. Vperyod Evrazistii! Don’t chortle too loudly… the Amerikantsy are nasty when crossed and vexed… especially, when we “inferiors” give them an ass-kicking. Remember, their country is not even 300 years old… they’re wilful violent children (they have a sicko absorption with guns)… with nuclear weapons. Do have a care around them… they’re not the most grounded of peoples (individual people aren’t bad, but as a group, Amerikantsy are spoilt brats).

On Wednesday, Sports MinisterVitaly Mutko told R-Sport that figure skatingprodigyYuliya Lipnitskaya won Russia’s highest sporting honour at the age of 15. On Sunday, Lipnitskaya became the youngest ever Winter Olympics gold medallist, making the biggest points contribution to Russia’s triumph in the team figure skating event with wins in the women’s short and free programmes. She became an Honoured Master of Sport in recognition of the feat, an award reserved for Olympic, Paralympic, and Deaflympic medallists, as well as world and European champions and World Cup winners. Mutko said, “We already had such cases in gymnastics, where young athletes became Masters of Sport. Yuliya has big competitions ahead, one of them here at the Olympics. We’re all looking forward to her performance; she will bring joy to all the fans”. Lipnitskaya will bid for a second Sochi gold in the singles competition on 19-20 February. Other athletes awarded the title at such a young age include London Olympicgymnastics champion Aliya Mustafina and three-time Olympic synchronised swimming gold medallist Svetlana Romashina.
The main character in the presentation, the girl Lyubov (“Love”), participated in a folk performance with onion domes, amongst which were the stylised colourful domes of St Basil Cathedral. In one of the highlights of the show, the domes soared into the air and almost lined up in the order, along with the world-famous church on Red Square, which is one of the best-known symbols of Moscow.
The ceremony needed 3,000 performers and 2,000 volunteers, who used 6,000 costumes. The total number of people involved in the ceremony was more than 9,200.

The historical presentation continued; the romantic sublimity of the 19th century segued into the uncompromising 20th century… red tones heralded the revolutionary era and symbolised the epoch of constructivism. The model of a giant locomotive appeared under the dome of the stadium to the music of Sviridov‘s theme for Время, вперёд! (Time, Forward!).
