Who else thinks Putin's going to jump out of a plane tonight? Shirtless. #OpeningCeremony #Soch2014 #CTVSochi

Have to say, I'm impressed with the setup as the athletes enter the stadium. A giant image of each country as seen from space is being beamed onto the floor of the stadium as each country's team enters.

Wondering who the sole athlete (happily) representing Venezuela is? It's skier Antonio Jose Pardo Andretta.

Bach thanks Sochi residents, volunteers and workers for their "patience" in the years ahead leading up to the Games. Thanks them for the warm hospitality.

Olympic games are a sports festival embracing human diversity and unity, Bach says

by Maurice Cacho (CTV News) 2/7/2014 6:24:31 PM
Bach asks politicians to address diversity concerns peacefully, not on the backs of athletes. Seems like he's taking a shot at Russia's anti-gay laws.

by Maurice Cacho (CTV News) 2/7/2014 6:25:44 PM
I'll be honest, I actually really love the Olympic message. It's one of the reasons I love being an athlete so much.

And with a barrage of fireworks, Putin declares that the games are now open.

by Maurice Cacho (CTV News) 2/7/2014 6:30:13 PM
And now, fireworks and jellyfish dancers.

Meanwhile, the countdown clock in Sochi has finally hit 0

by Maurice Cacho (CTV News) 2/7/2014 6:40:23 PM
I just marched in the opening ceremonies at the Olympics. something I have been wanting to do my whole life. Now for more Olympic moments!

by Dylan Moscovitch via twitter 2/7/2014 6:46:31 PM
Apparently, one of those skaters fell.

by Maurice Cacho (CTV News) 2/7/2014 6:52:00 PM
Did they show the skater who fell on TV also? Because that was more epic than my fall at Olympic trials in the 1000m.
