Bump....

Preparation for the 2014 Winter Olympics is now beginning in earnest.
[Or so say they]
The Former Soviet countries made very little showing in Vancouver,
at least compared to what they used to do.
The Russian Federation has acquired three gold of their 13 medals.
Now it's on to Sochi..but a lot can happen in four years.
Like Vancouver, Sochi is also a seaport on the eastern shore of the
Black Sea.
From the pictures I've seen, the beaches don't look all that sandy.

The Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2010 in Vancouver will be a significant milestone for the Sochi 2014 programme, since it is in Vancouver that Russia’s Sochi will officially take over and become the focus of the next Winter Games. In accordance with the regulations laid down by the International Olympic Committee, the Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee is obliged to present its vision for the Sochi 2014 Games in Canada, as well as showcasing the city and country which, in four years time, will be the focus of attention for millions of people in the rest of the world.
