The Best of the Internet: Sochi Winter Olympics

For two weeks now, the Sochi Winter Olympics have been dominating the social media scene (read: lifetime in the digital space) and don’t expect it to let up anytime soon.

While athletes have been busy sharing behind-the-scenes photos, commentary and pushing their social brand sponsorships via pre-packaged tweets and posts, the Internet is exploding with colorful commentary, parody accounts and viral antics surrounding the Games.

But before you go digging through the billions of tweets, videos, GIFs and photos from the past 10 days of Sochi social media, we’re giving you “The Best of the Internet: Sochi Winter Olympics.”
