Funny: One of the five Olympic rings not opening during the LIVE ceremony for the Sochi Winter Olympics.

Not Funny: Suggestions that the man responsible for the technical fault is now dead.

Although reports vary on what happened to the culprit, this undoubtedly would prove to be one of the more memorable fails of 2014.

With the whole world watching this disaster, the producers cut the feed to show a dress rehearsal where all five rings successfully opened. Nice save Russia.
