Then again, it totally makes sense. This is Sochi, after all.

That fifth ring must be the one they're segregating because it's different #Sochi #WinterOlympics

How do you miss a ring, you've had 4 years to prepare and test so that all 5 rings light up! #sochi #sochiproblems

Only 4 Olympic Rings open in typical #sochi fashion #awk “@lilsarg: Oops. One ring didn't open. Oh well. http://t.co/9t21JYSKUh”

I guess one of the journalists stole that last ring to use for a lightbulb. #sochi
