2014 Sochi Olympics live: Rainbow-colored coats, a ring that fails to open - Los Angeles Times

Posted: 07 Feb 2014 08:43 AM PST

The 2014 Winter Olympics opening ceremony is underway in Sochi, Russia, and among the athletes marching into Fisht Olympic Stadium was the German team, which appeared to be making a pro-gay-rights statement in rainbow-colored coats.

The teams of athletes began their march into the stadium soon after the start of the ceremony. Venezuela made an impression with the size of its contingent: three -- "one dancing with a flag, one taking video, a third just looking left out," says the L.A. Times' Bill Plaschke.

Among sights leading up to the athletes' entrance: platforms illustrating the different landscapes of Russia floated through the stadium; tATu -- a group described as a psuedo-lesbian pop duo -- performed, which was interesting given the uproar over Russia's anti-gay laws; and the Ministry of Internal Affairs choir sang.

One Olympic goof was making the rounds on social media. Five massive illuminated snowflakes were supposed to open into the Olympic rings, but one remained a flake.

The U.S. athletes are wearing Ralph Lauren gear for the opening ceremony -- including a chunky, patchwork knit wool cardigan  emblazoned with stars, stripes and patriotic graphics. 

Although there is no streaming video of the 2014 Winter Olympics opening ceremony in real time, you can get a sneak peek here with our reporters and others tweeting the ceremony from Russia. See our live coverage below. (Here's a version for mobile users.)

The ceremony will be shown at 7:30 p.m. PST on NBC in its entirety.
