Shall not. MT @CortMc : @therealeliclark Stalin killed at least 20M more Russians on own. And let's not forget what the USSR did in Poland.

What did everyone think of the Opening Ceremony?

Russia’s Alexey Sobolev, snowboarder who put phone number on his helmet at #Sochi2014 , says he rec’d so many texts & photos his phone broke.

by Michael C. Lewis via twitter 2/8/2014 6:12:33 AM
Sobolev added that some of the texts included photos of “naked girls” from all over the world. #Sochi2014

Meanwhile, Park City’s @SageKotsenburg rocks first run in slopestyle semifinal, scoring 89.0 to make up for frustrating qualification round.

Good Saturday morning from Sochi. Awake, sober or neither US-Finland women's hockey opener at 2 am central http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bf7lW9zIAAAXr-V.jpg

Snowboarder @sagekotsenburg sitting a strong second after first heat of semifinals, in good position to reach final at #Sochi2014 .

by Michael C. Lewis via twitter 2/8/2014 6:18:49 AM
Kotsenburg changed his run a bit for semis, and put down “one of the coolest runs I think I’ve ever done. It felt like one of the best."

by Michael C. Lewis via twitter 2/8/2014 6:21:25 AM
If you are awake and interested US-Finland women's game on NBC Sports (cable) and streaming available via NBC Sports Live Extra.

Ireland's never, ever won a Winter Olympics medal. The country's best hope in the slopestyle is American-born Seamus O'Connor, who just landed a front triple cork. Still in the thick of it after that run.

American Ryan Stassel suffered a rough landing on his second to last jump, so he remains on the bubble at fourth. He'll have to wait it out to see if he'll make the finals.

Canadian Mark McMorris just shredded the course with a near perfect run, finishing it off with a clean triple cork. The judges didn't nudge him into first, however.

His scores: 88, 95, 87, 96, 92, 90
89.5 average. Good for third place after his second run. That should put him in the finals later today.
