Whether it’s chanting “USA,” dedicating an entire night to television or rooting for your favorite international team, millions of people have tuned in to watch the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

From the opening ceremony to the present, numerous moments have become ingrained in the minds of many. For those who haven’t watched the Olympics, this lists of highs and lows will recap what has happened thus far.

Break a leg

Before the opening ceremony, USA freestyle skier Heidi Kloser tore her ACL, bruised her tibia and fractured her femur, putting her officially out of the competition. Despite the obvious upset, the Olympian participated in the Parade of Nations with her teammates — and her crutches — supporting her.

Technical difficulties

Netherland twins Ronald and Michel Mulder competed in the same competition of men’s speedskating 500m. Ronald beat the best time at 69.46 seconds. His brother, Michel, beat Ronald’s time with a new record of 69.312 seconds. Finally, Johannes Smeekens of the Netherlands speedskated to first, or so was announced at the time. Michel Mulder rejoiced for his teammate and himself, who won silver. Approximately five seconds after announcing Smeekens as the gold medalist, however, announcers explained that due to a glitch in the timing system, Michel won gold. Smeekens cried. The stats lied.

Overwhelming enthusiasm

Whether you just watched America lose a medal or witnessed Russia win one, a definite plus side to the Winter Olympics is the stability of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s facial expressions — or lack thereof. Seeing the apathy on this man’s face is enough to make any lost gold medal seem like a little league loss.

Technical difficulties, part two

The opening ceremony in Sochi was beautiful — a small girl in a winter wonderland of dreams, flying through the night. She came to snowflakes in the sky near the moon, and as the snowflakes aligned in the form of the Olympic rings, they began to open. Well, four of them did. The fifth, far-right ring did not open, becoming the first big low of the Olympics.

White breaks his Stride

USA snowboarder Shaun White, America’s favorite face of the gum industry, fell twice during his halfpipe snowboarding event. He also withdrew from the slopestyle event, but it was too late for the American team to find a replacement. There’s one thing Shaun White and his gum have in common: They’re both sticking it to America.
