The competition at the Sochi Olympics is over, but that doesn't mean the world's Olympians were done with endurance contests.
It's time for the journey home.
I've come to realize... The hardest part about being at the Olympics... Is packing your stuff to go home! π pic.twitter.com/FqgBvpK3f3

After the packing was done, it was off to the airport. While Olympians waited for their flights a few lucky ones got to cuddle with U.S. figure skater Jason Brown.
