This is a pretty cool series of pictures captured by AP photographer David Goldman. At first, Russian leader Vladimir Putin is looking away from the TV while four of the five Olympic rings lit up at the opening ceremony in Sochi. Presumably, somebody in the room said something about the snafu, but by the time Putin looked back at the screen the mishap had been replaced with an image from the rehearsal.
