 The Sochi Russia winter games  Opportunity for Russia to show the world it's hospitality &world class accommodations. Sochi is a vibrate city built on the coast line with the mountains nearby. Massive amounts of new contracts have been awarded to construction firms to make the city ready for the Olympic event it will be hosting in 2014.
It will be the first Olympics in Russia since the 1980 Gameswhen a US-led boycott,protesting the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan,kept 24 countries from participating.Sochi is on the east side of the Black Sea,on a spot where the Greeks landed more than 2,000 years ago. The city is relatively young with the name only appearing on maps at the end of the 19th century. It was only when Stalin chose the city as the site for his summer dacha in the 1930s that the city began to expand and become the resort town of the Soviet Union. One of the main legacies of the games,according to the Sochi organizing committee, is "to rejuvenate the city". The games will leave behind new
hotels,business centers,concert halls and many other major facilitiesa new airport has already been built.With Sochi also hosting the Paralympics, the aim is also to make a Russian city accessible for the disabled,a huge step forward in a country where even the capital is virtually impossible to navigate for any wheelchair user.
