This seems to be the case Vladimir Putin found the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Olympics to be a total snoozefest.
As the Parade of Nations entered Beijing’s National Stadium the Russian president fell asleep. Putin was shown with his hands folded in his lap, his eyes closed.
The social media stepped up to the challenge. Twitter users joked about “Lmao Putin lying down in his recliner during the fking Olympics opening ceremonies.” Others laughed, saying, “Watching Olympics opening. NBC showed Putin, who looked like he was sleeping but then awoke with the same start that we all get. ‘Me? Sleeping? No! “I was just resting my eyes!”
Others noted that the president chose to get some shuteye just as political opponent Ukraine appeared. Putin might have been jealous of the Ukrainian Olympic team’s best attire, as one joked.
