Olympics Ceremony snowflake

You knew the opening ceremony for the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi couldn’t go down without a hitch, right? There was one noticeable error during a light show when one of the five snowflakes that were supposed to turn into Olympic rings failed to open.

As our friend Brad Evans joked, somebody just lost a body part over that screwup.

A snowflake didn't open to create the critical fifth Olympic ring? Dear god, someone probably just lost a vital appendage. #OpeningCeremony

Looks like that snowflake was giving us a wink or something.

I think this should be the new official logo of the Sochi Olympics.
