The XXII Olympic Winter Games, or the 22nd Winter Olympics, is a major international multi-sport event kicking off tonight with preliminary rounds of Snowboarding, Freestyle Skiing and Figure Skating.

Although there will be a few competitions starting tonight, Feb. 6, the Sochi Olympics will not officially begin until the end of the opening ceremony tomorrow, Feb. 7.
