City of Sochi
• Sochi is inhabited by approximately 400,000 people and represents
over 100 nationalities. Sochi is a part of Krasnodar region which has
a combined population of 5.1 million people;
• Sochi is situated in a unique climate zone on the
shore of the Black Sea, at the foot of the
mountains of Krasnaya Polyana. The territory of
Sochi covers 200,000 ha, including 30,000 ha
of arboretums, botanic gardens and protected
wilderness areas with unique flora and fauna.
• Sochi is famous for its unique combination of
Mediterranean and Alpine climate. The average
thickness of snow cover in the mountainous region is
2 meters and in the winter temperatures are usually
below zero, but severe frosts are rare.
Sochi 2014 Games
• The Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games will be the most compact
Games in the history of the Olympic Movement. For the first time in
Olympic Games history, there will be a unified Olympic Park (within the
Coastal Cluster) that can accommodate over 75,000 guests at a time. All
ice competition venues will be located within walking distance of each
other. Mountain Cluster venues will be situated in Krasnaya Polyana and it
will take about 30 minutes to get there from the Olympic Park by means
of a new railway line. There will be venues for snow sports,
the Mountain Olympic Village, hotels and other infrastructural buildings
there.
• The XXII Olympic Winter Games will take place between February
7, 2014 and February 23, 2014 (17 days of competitions). The XI
Paralympic Winter Games will take
place between March 7, 2014 and
March 16, 2014 (10 days of
competitions).
Construction
• A total of 235 new facilities will be constructed in Sochi
by 2014. 11 of these are new world class Olympic
competition venues and the other 224 facilities consist of
sites and venue infrastructure intended for Sochi's
development as an Alpine resort;
• Construction and
assembly work is in progress at 107 sites. Work at
all the construction sites is
currently running
firmly on schedule and by the
end of 2012 all the competition
venues for the Sochi 2014
Games were commissioned.
Investments
• Within the framework of the project, the following facilities and
sites will be constructed or reconstructed:
- 11 Competition Venues with a total capacity of 145,800
people;
- 4 Alpine resorts with a capacity
for 42,000 visitors, including 150
km of alpine skiing tracks;
- over 367.3 km of roads and
bridges, over 201 km of railway
lines, 22 tunnels;
- 210 km of intermediate and low pressure gas pipelines and a
high pressure gas pipeline from Dzhubga to Sochi that is 174 km
long, including 151 km of underwater piping;
- 5 Thermal power plants, 18 electric power substations with a
total power capacity of over 1208 MW and over 550 km of
overhead transmission lines;
- over 690 km of engineering networks, sewage treatment
facilities with a performance output of 255,000 sq m per day;
- over 100 hotels and accommodation facilities with a
capacity of 27,100 rooms;
- 74 education,
healthcare, culture,
physical training
and sports venues.
Games Budget
• The Olympic and Paralympic Games 2014 budget is approaching
2 billion USD, which corresponds to the average level of spending
for previous Games. Some examples from the international scene are:
Torino 2006 Organizing Committee's budget reached € 1,7 billion, Salt
Lake City 2002 Organizing Committee's budget reached $ 1,32 billion,
Nagano 1998 Organizing Committee's budget reached $ 2 billion.
• Over 80% of the
Games' budget
comes from the
unique marketing
programme carried
out by the Sochi 2014
Organizing Committee,
as well as from the IOC
marketing programme.
The remaining funds are
provided by the Federal
budget, according to the
commitments taken by
the Russian Federation in
regards to the IOC during
the Olympic bidding phase.
Games Partners
• Presently, the following companies feature among
local Sochi 2014 Partners:
Aeroflot, MegaFon, Rostelecom, Rosneft, Volkswagen Group
Rus, Russian Railways, BoscoSPORT and Ingosstrakh. Some
of the worldwide partners of the IOC, such as
Coca-Cola, Atos
Origin, Dow
Chemical, Omega,
Panasonic, Procter
& Gamble, Samsung
and Visa, have
also signed contracts
for the 2014 Olympic
Games in Sochi.
The Olympic Legacy
• The 2014 Games will help transform Sochi from a place known to
Russians as almost exclusively a summer resort, into a year-round
resort of the highest international rank. Sochi will become an
example of sustainable development for other Russian cities.
• The 2014 Games will
help create the first
international winter
sports resort in Russia,
which will later be used as
a training centre for Russian
athletes as well as for
international competitions.
• The sports venues will
be used widely after the
Games. Some of the venues will
be transformed into exhibition
halls, concert halls and other
entities after the Games, thus
improving the quality of life of
Sochi residents.
• According to the programme for the creation of a barrier-free
environment, approved by the Russian Federation's Government,
the Paralympic Winter Games of 2014 in Sochi will promote
the active integration of people with disabilities into
mainstream life in Russian society. New standards of city
planning will be set in Russia, since the construction of all sports
venues and infrastructure will meet the needs of people with
disabilities.
Ecology
• The Sochi 2014 Partners are implementing a program of
compensatory measures in areas of Olympic construction.
Compensatory planting of tens of thousands of trees and several hundred
actions to preserve the unique biodiversity of the natural habitat of the
region (of which 122 in 2010 only) were held within its framework.
New infrastructure
will be built within the
preparation for the
2014 Games; these
will help improve the
ecological situation in
the region - a • new
waste-processing
complex will be built
with a capacity of 200,000
tons of waste per year, as
well as a wastewater
treatment plant with a
capacity of 255,000 m³ per
day.
Safety
• All necessary safety measurements will be taken during the
preparations for and the hosting of the Olympic and Paralympic
Games. Safety measures for
the Olympic venues'
construction have been
implemented (materials and
equipment monitoring, safety
requirements for the design of the
venues' engineering networks). The
Sochi Olympic Park area will be the
most heavily protected zone, since due to
the focus of the Games it will be become
the centre of the Olympics, and thus the
place with the largest crowds. A highsecurity fence will be constructed around
its perimeter.
