THE XXII OLYMPIC WINTER
GAMES OF 2014 IN SOCHI
The XXII Olympic Winter Games, 7-23 February, 2014, in Sochi, were the first
Winter Olympics in the history of the Russian Federation hosted in the unique
climatic zone, where the snow-covered mountains are next to the seaside subtropics,
and the ski slopes have long been popular with winter sports enthusiasts.
The Sochi 2014 Olympics can rightly be called an unparalleled project, because
of the large-scale Olympic construction involved. The Games have also gone down in
history as the most innovative ones. One of the indigenous provisions was the compact
arrangement of competition venues and non-competition facilities, that provided for the
ultimate ease of transfers and flawless traffic.
As part of preparations for the Games, two clusters of competition venues and facilities
(the Mountain and the Coastal clusters) were built from scratch. Besides, a huge urban
cluster, encompassing the entire southern territory of Krasnodar krai, was refurbished.
New power capacities and facilities, the new under water gas pipeline, the new sewage
treatment plant, the new sea terminal and the new airport facilities, unique new roads
and railway lines and tracks, with many new bridges and tunnels, numerous new hotels
and residential quarters were constructed.
The Sochi 2014 Olympic Games torch relay was the longest in the history, with the
flame carried across all regions and major cities of Russia, to the North pole, to the bottom
of Lake Baikal and to the top of Mount Elbrus. The Olympic torch even made its way to
the International Space Station and was taken on a historic spacewalk above Earth. That
well-traveled torch was used to light the Olympic cauldron by the Fisht stadium during
the Opening Ceremony.
The Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi were attended by Over 50 Heads of states
and governments, 60 delegations of international organizations and ministries of sports.
A total of 2,859 athletes from 88 countries competed in a record 98 medal events.
Guests from 126 countries arrived in Sochi to support athletes.
The Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee sold over 1.1 million tickets for sports sessions,
and almost 2 mln tickets to the Olympic Park were sold during the Games.
Sochi International Airport on peak days rendered 575 runway operations a day, which
is comparable to the intensity of air traffic at major airports of the world.
The XXII Olympic Winter Games of 2014 in Sochi were broadcast worldwide – to 159
countries, on a total of 464 channels.
Volunteers earned a lot of high praise for their service.
The Russian national team's performance at the Games was a triumph - the first
place in gold medal standings (13 medals) as well as the top in the overall medal count
(33 medals). Russian athletes demonstrated the best results in the modern history of
Russian sports. The Sochi Olympics became a powerful impetus to further development
of sports and healthy lifestyles in Russia.
Thanks to a range of new advanced facilities, the city of Sochi has become an
international sports center and a year-round world-class resort, a popular tourism,
recreation and sports resort, a MICE destination with top-notch venues, a city with a
significant mission for the entire nation.

THE XI PARALYMPIC WINTER
GAMES OF 2014 IN SOCHI
Following the XXII Olympic Winter Games, March 7-16, 2014, in Sochi, the XI
Paralympic Winter Games of 2014 in Sochi earned the global recognition as the
most successful Paralympics ever staged.
The Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games were hosted by the same venues that
were used during the Olympic Games and featured a record number of participants and
guests, spectators and tickets sold. 547 athletes from 45 countries arrived to contest in
competitions. Channels broadcasting the Sochi Paralympics kept attention of the record
2.1 billion viewers.
On February 26, the Sochi 2014 Paralympic torch relay started at Cape Dezhnev the easternmost point of the Chukotka Peninsula and of the continent. Every day the
Paralympic flame was lit in one of the eight Federal districts of Russia. Every local
ceremony of the Paralympic flame was a unique performance: sparks were struck from
the anvil by the hammer, from a hammered iron feather of the Firebird, or from a red-hot
horseshoe, or a gold bar, from Polar lights, heart-shaped tokens, the rocket nozzle at its
take-off, and a laser beam, or as part of Shamanic rituals, or folk performances. A total
of 1,699 Paralympic torchbearers participated, and nearly 36% of them (605 participants
and guests) were people with a disability.
The program of the XI Paralympic Winter Games of 2014 in Sochi included five
Paralympic winter sports: alpine skiing, biathlon, cross-country skiing, wheelchair curling
and ice sledge hockey. Snowboard made its Paralympic Winter Games debut in Sochi as
a discipline under IPC Alpine Skiing, with two sets of medals (including male and female
categories).
At the Winter Paralympics in Sochi, the Russian athletes set a new record in the
(unofficial) final medal count, by 30 gold medals won in a total of 80 Russian Team’s
medals.
The desire to meet in Sochi tens of thousands of concurrent visitors with disabilities
prompted a mega-project dedicated to the barrier-free environment. Its provisions were
designed for the Paralympic participants and guests - athletes, coaches and judges, as
well as for spectators who came to the Games from all over Russia and other countries.
Therefore, it was important to refurbish the vast urban areas of Sochi, from the airport and
train stations, down to hotel rooms and restaurants, in order to ensure better accessibility
and comfort for people with different disabilities. Most of the project provisions have
been implemented before the Games.
Nowadays, Sochi is the most convenient city for people with disabilities. Over 1,420
public facilities (hospitals, schools, cultural institutions) were upgraded to the standards
of accessibility. Pedestrian crossings were rearranged with consideration of special needs
of people with limited mobility. Information boards and signage in braille, tactile tiles,
audible street signals and many other devices enable people who are blind or visually
impaired to enjoy accessibility and feel safe in Sochi.

SOCHI AS A DESTINATION
AND REGIONAL
The Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games
encouraged the resort's long-term development as
a modern sports, tourism and cultural destination.
The Games set high standards for attracting and
hosting mega events, which, in their turn, are
bound to highlight the Sochi image. Perception
of the city is fostered by communications, and by
its recognition as one of the top destinations for
publicly significant spectacular mass events, that
become important milestones for the resort city.
The conspicuous infrastructure of the city
provides essential opportunities for event tourism
and for further shift of the market of corporate,
sports and entertainment events to Sochi. The
sector of mega events in Sochi is expected to
grow to the level of health recreation and wellness
tourism in the economy of this resort city. The
municipal administration has set an objective to
maintain the image of Sochi as a popular all-season
resort of the world top class.
After the Sochi 2014 Olympics, some framework
was needed to coordinate events, scheduled in
Sochi for 2014.
For convenience of Sochi visitors, event planners
and hotels, Sochi municipal administration,
in collaboration with the Russian Federation
Government, compiled a Calendar of major
international, national and regional events
scheduled in Sochi for 2014. The Sochi 2014
Calendar of Major Events was published online
on the official websites of Sochi administration,
Krasnodar krai, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Crimea
and other regions of the country, as well as on the
websites of hotels, relevant Federal agencies and
travel agencies.
Initially, the Calendar featured less than twenty
international and national events. However,
6
FOR INTERNATIONAL, NATIONAL
EVENTS
thanks to the active promotion of the city, over
120 international, national and regional sporting,
academic, technical and entertainment events
were staged in 2014, with a total of 1.1 million
participants, guests and visitors.
In the late 2014, the Sochi 2014 Calendar of
Major Events was recognized by residents and
tourists as an efficient and relevant tool. It pictures
quite a range of diverse events: international and
regional, entertainment and sports, corporate and
public events, all staged in Sochi. At some point,
the Calendar incorporated noval events that were
held for the first time in Sochi in 2014, but are
likely to become annual. Calendars for 2015, 2016
and 2017 are drafted these days.

FEDERATION CUP 2014
INTERNATIONAL TENNIS
TOURNAMENT
April
19-20
• the Adler-arena sports palace in the Olympic Park
• Over 5,700 participants and guests and spectators
One of the most prestigious tennis cups, the 52nd
in succession, held among women’s teams, took place in
Sochi. The Adler-Arena courts hosted the semi-finals of
the Federation Cup 2014 and the tennis play-off. In the
play-off, team Russia (Vesnina (an athlete from Sochi),
Makarova, Solovieva) outplayed team Argentina by a
score of 4:0, thus ensuring transition to the World Group
2015. Over 5,700 spectators, both Sochi residents and
tourists, attended this event.
In the kick-off meeting Elena Vesnina overplayed Paula
Ormaechea, the leader of team Argentina, by a score of
6:3, 6:3. After that, Ekaterina Makarova increased the
advantage by winning over Maria Irigoyen at 7:5, 6:1. The
second game of the day featured top seeds of the teams,
Ekaterina Makarova and Paula Ormaechea - 6:1, 6:2. The
total score was 3:0 in favor of the Russian team, so our
women's team once again earned a place in the world
group of the Federation Cup 2014. In accordance with the
regulations and by mutual agreement of the captains, this
was followed only by a doubles match, which was held in
compliance with formal rules.
The public supported our tennis players as passionately
as they recently cheered winter sports athletes. The match
attracted attention of celebrities too. For example, it was
attended by film producer Mark Rudinshtein, showman
Sergei Krylov, other celebrities. Appearance of the Olympic
champions in figure skating Tatiana Volosozhar and
Maxim Trankov generated lots of enthusiasm. In between
sets played on the court, these skaters seated on the
spectator stands were attacked with requests to sign
autographs, and after the first match, crowds wanted in
the line to get their pictures taken with the champions.
Our female players, by the way, accepted it with courtesy
that the spectators seemed at times preoccupied with
the presence of the eminent athletes, rather than with
the tennis match.
The victory over the Argentine athletes was largely
symbolic. For the first time in the recent history of Russia,
the national female tennis athletes played home matches
not in Moscow but in another city.

BIG CITY LIGHTS
ILYA AVERBUKH’S
ICE SHOW
On July 4, at the Iceberg Ice Palace in the Olympic park of Sochi, there was
the first night of ice show staged by Ilya Averbukh.
Big City Lights has no analogues in the world. It is an amazing love story
that combines the best of skating, musicals and world drama into the show
staged by Director Ilya Averbukh.
Ilya Averbukh was inspired by the famous Charlie Chaplin’s movie after which
the project is called Big City Lights. However, the ice musical is an independent
work of performing arts with its own original plot and script.
The plot covers a series of interconnected stories, exciting and capturing
attention from the very first minutes, yet reflecting clear and simple messages.
The musical highlights a rich spectrum of human relationships, feelings and
experiences that intervene into a big picture of a modern city, with its surprising
encounters, events and people. This is a touching story about meetings and
parting, about love and affection, jealousy and hatred, sincere friendship and
betrayal ...
Original music for the play was written by Roman Ignatyev, a composer
famous by his work for musicals: The Count of Monte Cristo, and Count Orlov.
For the first time in the history of domestic ice shows, singing is performed live
by soloists of well-known musicals.
Moreover, this is one of the most expensive and grandiose projects, with its
beautiful stage scenery, multilevel stage platforms, and unique group of actors.
The musical at the Iceberg Ice Palace involved over sixty actors skating on
ice. Among them are such star ice skaters as: Marat Basharov, Alexey Jagudin,
Tatiana Totmianina, Maxim Marinin, Roman Kostomarov and many others.
The Big City Lights show successfully toured Switzerland, the UK, China,
Lithuania, always to a full house, to applause from thousands of enthusiastic
spectators.
For three months, the Big City Lights has been projecting joy and enjoyment
of Sochi residents and guests.

generally for what we call real life of Post-Olympic Sochi.

Vladimir Putin
President of the Russian Federation
I would like to note, that the Post-Olympic inbound tourist flow
in Sochi has substantially - by 42% - exceeded the Pre-Games
Summer flow. Sochi was visited by more than 2 million tourists
in summer alone.
»
Dmitry Kozak
Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian
Federation
This is what we call the Post-Olympic effect. In my opinion, Greater
Sochi may be a self-sufficient point of growth in the economy
of our territory. Today it is a world-class, year-round resort
which hosts the largest Russian and international events and
competitions. Thanks to this clever use of Post-Olympic legacy,
the annual revenues in all public budgets, by our estimations, will
total 15 billion rubles.
Alexander Tkachev
Krasnodar krai Governor
Sochi has always been very special in Russia. The resort features
wonderful nature and health recreation resources, which are
not available even in the famous Karlovy Vary. The health resort
city’s infrastructure and transport used to be its weaknesses.
Thanks to the Sochi Olympic Construction program, new hotels
have been built, facilities have been upgraded. By creating the
fantastic infrastructure, we reached out for and went above the
world standards.
Vladimir Medinsky
Minister of Culture in the Russian
Federation
Thank you Sochi, thank you Russia! Athletes – you have inspired
us over these days. You have excelled in competitions and shared
your emotions with us and the whole world. You have celebrated
victory and defeat with dignity!
