Thread: Sochi 2014 - Olympic Winter Games (official site)

I'm more interested in the state of the snow for the events. The piste for today's cross-country sprint was awful and there were some terrible falls. I'm worried that all the construction work (including the removal of vast swathes of trees) has affected the "micro-climate" so that the ski area is too warm...

I'd really like to ski there but on tv here (in Switzerland) all the presenters are complaining about the crazy prices - e.g. ten dollars for a coke. Until I become an oligarch I think I'd better steer clear...

Allegedly, there's free beer for Canadians in Sochi, eh?
