International Olympic Committee has designated Sochi as the
host city of the 2014 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
Thanks to this decision, Russia will host its first ever
Winter Games.
During its two-year campaign, the Sochi 2014 Bid Committee
has demonstrated its commitment and passion, outlining its
visionary plans for the Games thus successfully convincing the
IOC that Russia was the best partner to offer a
once-in-a-lifetime Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The Russian people's enthusiasm for Winter Sports and the
Olympics in particular, the true passion displayed for Sochi
2014 during the course of the Bid campaign reflected to the
world the commitment of an entire nation to honour the Olympic
values and guarantee an incredible ambiance in 2014.
Thank you for making Russia's Olympic dream come true!
