A Twitter account highlighting the myriad teething problems that have plagued the Winter Olympics has attracted 324,000 followers — 120,000 more than the official Sochi account.There has been widespread criticism that not all the facilities were ready on time for the Olympics, in particular accommodation for media, despite the estimated price tag of $50 billion for building facilities and infrastructure in the underdeveloped southern Russian region.

Tweets on the account show examples of shoddy workmanship, poor plumbing, accommodation littered with debris and unsightly areas close to the Olympic stadium.

Other tweets poke fun over the glitch at the opening ceremony, when one of the Olympic rings failed to open.
