Last week, images of unfinished infrastructure around Sochi, including hotels, bus stops, parks and sidewalks, began circulating around the Internet. Now, with only days to spare before the first athletic events Thursday, media from around the world have arrived to document their unfinished accommodations.

According to the Sochi Olympic organizing committee, only six of the nine hotels in the media village are ready for occupancy and the International Olympic Committee is asking them to resolve all issues fast.
