Sochi Winter Olympics

The Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics have only just kicked off, but some crazy spills have already started happening. This story is about Indian luger Shiva Keshavan's crash during a practice run.

The Sochi Winter Olympics open Friday in Sochi, Russia. It seems like every news story that we see points to everything being awful. Hotels, as well as portions of the Olympic village aren't yet complete. There are stray dogs all over the place. We haven't heard much about the actual event venues themselves. So, hopefully, they're at least ready. Let's face it: That's really all that matters.

The XXII Winter Olympic Games are Feb. 7 to 23 in Sochi, Russia. Among the 230 athletes representing Team USA at the Sochi Winter Olympics are 19 Olympians with Michigan ties. Here is who to watch in Sochi.
