Epic Fail #3: When Social Media Goes Wrong
The Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics have been billed as the legacy for President Putin as he promised these games were a showcase of what the Russian people can do.

These issues ranged from uncompleted rooms, to missing doorhandles, to missing reservations. The media took to social media using the hash tag #sochiproblems, which went viral.

Even the Huffington Post got in on the action with this headline, Sochi Olympics 2014: 15 Epic Hotel Fail In The 'Russian Riviera.'
