There were a few glitches at the opening ceremonies last Friday night.
One of the rings didn't light up during the ceremony.

And the Olympic mascot's expression kind of freaked everybody out.

While the rest of the program was pretty extravagant, there was something that a lot of people were hoping for that didn't happen. What could it be? We'll let the tweets speak for themselves.
The question on everyone's mind: Will Putin take off his shirt or wrestle a tiger as part of opening ceremonies? #sochi#olympics

The five-ringed symbol of the Olympic Games... 1 ring for every time Putin tried to take his shirt off during the opening ceremonies.#Sochi

You know it's a formal event when Putin has a shirt on. #Sochi#OpeningCeremonies

Haven't been watching opening ceremonies. Is Putin shirtless? #Sochi

Russian President Vladimir Putin has been known to ride a horse shirtless from time to time but at the opening ceremonies last Friday, he kept his shirt on. Sorry, world. Then again, there's always the closing ceremonies. Cross your fingers!
