Russia pokes fun at Olympic ring mishap during Closing Ceremony

[El_Johns]

Who says the Russians don’t have a sense of humor?

During the Closing Ceremony of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, several dancers appeared in silver outfits pretending to be fish on what we assume was the Black Sea. It was truly beautiful.

And then it turned humorous.

I have one daughter that watches all the events and the other just likes the ceremonies.

I can't see anyone saying the point of a ceremony is not knowing about anything that happens in it before watching.
