Is anything else happening in the world right now beside Sochi?

The biggest protest of the Games were yesterday. No, not about gay rights. But about hockey, as frustrated Russian fans chanted outside the US Embassy about a disallowed goal, as if the US diplomats had anything to do with the referee.

Ice dancing continues twirling.
