Everyone is talking about the highly anticipated Sochi 2014 Olympic opening ceremonies airing tonight on NBC! The Olympic athletes have revealed that their accommodations in the Sochi Olympic Park are nice but one room in particular have athletes, press, and their supporters shaking their heads -- the bathrooms!
Thanks to social media sites like Twitter, people around the world are getting a backstage pass into the Sochi Olympic Park, where Olympians will be living and competing to prove they are the best in the world.
One of the first things everyone noticed were the toilets. It appears that there is little privacy when using the restroom in Olympic Park, as the BBC's Steve Rosenberg shared above on Twitter! For anyone used to private bathrooms or bathroom stalls, that experience is guaranteed to be very awkward! Although you could always pee with a pal, like world biathlon champion Martin Fourcade, above!
People are also worried about the water the athletes and guests of Olympic Park are using. Stacy St. Clair of the Chicago Tribune posted this frightening photo of the tap water after it was "restored". I hope Russia sends in filtered, bottled water for everyone quickly!
And finally, the internet is still buzzing about the bathroom rules that were posted in one bathroom, as captured by Canadian snowboarder Sebastien Toutant. Really? Fishing in the toilet?
What do you think these unusual bathroom quirks? Are they being blown out of proportion or do you think they could throw off the Olympians' game? What's the weirdest bathroom design you have ever seen? Let us know in the comments section below!
