#4 A teasing and titillating story but not much else. Probably worth a couple of more points to the judges.

#6 Considering how warm it is in Sochi its quite understandable that typical winter sports outfits would be just too hot.

Of course I might be a bit biased ... it's too cold here to desire to go outside. Sochi is looking like a warmer haven. It's -6F outside as I type this compared to Sochi's current 55F or 61F warmer.

55F is not a winter game! It's a late spring game.

#7 IIRC they had similar temperature issues at the Vancouver Winter Olympics. Maybe its the balance to the Gore Effect.

#9 Thank God it was not Janet Jackson.I Magnus the screams of anguish. And, this was frontal and longer than 9/10ths of a second.

#11 What the *hell* is all the hubub about?

It's not like she flashed a nipple or something. She obviously simply opened it up for some ventilation after some strenuous exercise and then realized there was nothing under it (oops).

"Ripping down the zip ... the skin tight suit burst open"... who writes this crap - Harliquin Romance?

#14 Russian Zippers is a funny phrase. Soviet Zipper Factory is even better. Peoples Zipper Factory 5 is also good. There's an Akron joke in here somewhere.

#15 #14 Peoples Zipper Factory 5

The Great Figure

Through a cracked pane
all night
I glimpsed the figure 5
in gold
on a red
smokestack
mooning
drunk
defeated
by belts rumbling
through the gray factory

And on the ice
in lights
I saw that
Olga Graf
win bronze
so brash
unzip
and laugh
unheeding
of the hoots
and growls
from workers grumbling
about such small frivolities
