Guide for the Winter Olympic Games Sochi 2014

By Ivan Batiashvili

The 2014 Olympic Winter Games will be the first time that the Russian Federation will have hosted the Winter Games. The Games will be organised in two clusters: a coastal cluster for ice events in Sochi, and a mountain cluster located in the Krasnaya Polyana Mountains. This will make it one of the most compact Games ever, with around 30 minutes travel time from the coastal to mountain cluster. The Sochi Olympic Park will be built along the Black Sea coast in the Imeretinskaya Valley, where all the ice venues such as the Bolshoi Ice Palace, the Maly Ice Palace, the Olympic Oval, the Sochi Olympic Skating Centre, the Olympic Curling Centre, the Central Stadium, the Main Olympic Village and the International Broadcast Centre and Main Press Centre, was built anew for the 2014 Games.
The proposed guide will give you all the information for arriving and entertainment at the Winter Olympics Sochi 2014.
Good luck!
