Nice salute, but all things considered, how could they NOT welcome the teams?

Confrontation of another kind. I wonder what the athletes and the soldier were thinking in their heads.

I still don't understand all this attention paid to the Russian gay issue. Was this much scrutiny placed on China when they hosted the Olympics? I'd argue that the average Chinese person has less freedom and lives under a more totalitarian regime than the Russians do.
