When BBC reporter Steve Rosenberg went to use the bathroom at the cross-country skiing and biathlon center for next month's Winter Olympics in Sochi, he found two toilets but only one stall.
His tweeted picture instantly became a national joke.
Although toilets like that are not common in Russia,Russians jested that the toilets in Sochi were designed for a "tandem," the name used to describe the duo of President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
One popular blogger altered Rosenberg's photo to put in a framed portrait of the two leaders above the toilets.
Another joke has it that the second toilet was for a Russian security officer.
The Sochi organising committee refused to comment on the picture.
