Hunger Games or Olympic Games?

Yum?

       The Sochi Winter Olympics have been much anticipated and are finally underway. However, the controversy of the living conditions and safety of the journalists and athletes has seemed to be a much bigger news story than any of the Olympic events. It seems that the water is yellow, most things are broken, food is scarce, hotel rooms aren't finished, and lobby's don't exist. These conditions have led to an uproar in the social media world. Journalists have been tweeting things like "My hotel has no water. If restored, the front desk says, 'do not use on your face because it contains something very dangerous" and "Ok, so my hotel doesn't have a lobby yet." There have also been new Twitter accounts created such as the one titled "Sochi Problems," tweeting things like "Bad water, no food, threats of killing. Not sure if this is the Olympic Games of the Hunger Games #sochiproblems" with 1,501 retweets and 1,415 favorites. Meanwhile, the Olympic events are taking place every day and we are hearing just as much about the Sochi living conditions as we are about updates on athletes due to social media. These tweets have been quite entertaining to the public, and once again, prove the power social media can have on one of the most anticipated events this year.
