Sochi viewers resort to schoolboy humour as athletes Andreas Wank and Semen Pavlichenko compete

Winter Olympics fans have found yet another source of humour in Sochi’s 2014 games – this time in the names of athletes.

Russian luge competitor Semen Pavlichenko and German ski jumper Andreas Wank are particular favourites amongst those taking to Twitter to express their amusement.

‘I hope the ski jumper called Andreas Wank comes first,’ was the joke many opted for in reference to the ski jumper, with one Twitter user pointing out the ‘delicious irony that Andreas Wank partakes in the only skiing event you don’t have a pole in your hand’.

‘Just seen a Russian luger called Semen, and now a German ski jumper called Andreas Wank. I love the Winter Olympics,’ wrote another viewer watching at home.
