索契冬奧會的越野滑雪和冬季兩項中心里這個小廁間的照片，剛被傳上互聯網就在社交網絡中被人們瘋傳。

下個月索契冬奧會就要召開了，BBC駐莫斯科記者史蒂夫·羅森博格前來采訪，在他上廁所的時候他拍下了這張照片。

他在推特上傳了這張照片，旁邊附加了一句話：“在冬奧會的冬季兩項中心發現了雙馬桶洗手間?！?隨后這張照片就開始在網絡上瘋傳。
Although 'dual-toilets' are not common in Russia, social media users managed to post images of other side-by-side toilets from across the country, including ones in a courthouse and a cafe.

“為什么那個BBC的家伙要調戲我們呢？” 瓦西里·科諾夫在他的個人推特中寫道，“俄羅斯足球體育館的公共男廁都長這個樣。”
