AP PHOTOS: Colors, shapes, symbols shine at Sochi

An image freezes the moment Britain's David Murdoch delivers the stone in a curling match against Norway. Another shows the Olympic torch through a rain-soaked window. Other photos capture South Korean athletes waving to fans and American Mikaela Shiffrin as she approaches a gate in the women's giant slalom at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics.

Check out these and other notable scenes at Tuesday's games in this photo gallery curated by AP Deputy Director of Photography Denis Paquin.
