Add another Sochi fail to the list — and this one's a beast of a problem.

U.S. Olympian Kate Hansen claims she spotted a "wolf" roaming through the halls of her hotel. The luger uploaded a video of the four-legged furball to YouTube with the caption, "I'm pretty sure this is a wolf wandering my hall in Sochi." She also tweeted the video to her followers.

While a wolf in Sochi might not shock anyone following the Olympics' well-documented issues, the animal was more likely a stray dog that just resembled a wolf.

Sochi's dog population problems have been closely followed during the games. The city's mandate to exterminate the strays alarmed animal lovers, and inspired athletes and activists to rescue the dogs.

In inconclusive summary, a wolf may or may not have infiltrated Kate Hansen's hotel in Sochi.
