Have they started yet? Did I miss the opening ceremonies?

Yes. Big crowd for the opening. Very few people in the audience of events.
I wonder if Russia has got it that their anti-gay stance might be keeping people away, disgusted that in 2014 such appalling discrimination can go without punishment.

I think it's a combination of things. A lot of bad press about terrorists for no reason, shoddy workmanship in hotels and whatnot, shooting dogs, Putin becoming a dictator or whatever he is now, etc...

Yep, you're right. Lots of bad press, with the NY Times reporting with seeming neutrality but hardly holding back derisive smirks.

I didn't watch a single event. I didn't watch the opening or closing ceremonies either.
