SOCHI — The 2014 Winter Olympics in 2014 is just 9 days away and we are excited for the games to get underway.

Sochi has undergone massive construction in preparations for the games and here is a glimpse at the modern and unique Olympic stadiums for the 2014 Olympics.

Sochi has six stadiums, which you will surely get to know over the next few weeks, where a myriad of different events will take place.

The stadiums include the Fisht, the Bolshoy, the Shayba, the Adler, the Iceberg and the Ice Cube.

The Fisht will play host as the Olympic stadium and has a retractable roof. The Iceberg is the skating palace and the Ice Cube the curling center.

The Iceberg is aptly named, as it resembles an iceberg, and the Ice Cube does look a bit like an actual ice cube.

As I looked closer at these stadiums, however, I started to feel like they looked familiar and it finally hit me. Some of them closely resemble my modem and router. I've added some pictures to show you what I mean.

What do you think of the stadiums and what are you most looking forward to during the 2014 Winter Olympic Games.
