When you think of Russia, you think of cold, wilderness, and the Soviet Union of course. But Sochi isn't what everyone thinks of Russia, it has palm trees and can get as high as 75 degrees some days. Sochi is the exact opposite of what the Winter Olympics site should be. However there is snowy mountains where some of the events will be, but most of the city is greenery and tropic plants with beaches and villas.
It must be a nice break from the cold for the athletes. I'm sure they aren't complaining.
ReplyDeleteIt was the wrong place to have the Olympics. It was built in a rush and not prepared well for the amount of people that were going to be there.
