WWF-Russia position on Olympic Games in Sochi - 2014
"We’re proud that Russia is the Olympic candidate winner but at the same time we will do our best to ensure that construction works do not destroy the environment”, says Igor Chestin, WWF-Russia CEO.
WWF believes that mountain wilderness areas in the Caucasus must be protected when developing new facilities for the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi in 2014. However, some plans pose a serious threat to the environment.
WWF is especially concerned about the future of one of the most valuable natural areas within the Sochi national park, the Grushevyi Ridge and river Pslukh watershed, the projected site of the bobsleigh and luge track and mountain Olympic village. Besides being located within the boundaries of Sochi National Park, this area is also part of the buffer zone of the World Heritage Site ‘Western Caucasus’ and Russia is internationally responsible for its conservation.
Construction works in this part of Sochi national park (the buffer zone of the World Heritage Site) will lead to forest logging and destruction of habitats and migratory routes of endangered species, with negative effect going far beyond the construction site itself. This was clearly stated... Читать дальше »

The 2014 Olympic Winter Games bid election was held July 4, 2007 at the 119th IOC session in Guatemala City, Guatemala and was won by Sochi, Russia after defeating PyeongChang, South Korea on the second ballot and Salzburg Austria on the first. It was possibly the tightest Olympic bid election in history - and on the heels of an over-exuberant 2012 election where the bids took notes - the cities pulled out every stop and campaigned with high-profile dignitaries and lavish presentations. It was the first election where the national leaders for each bid presented.
Other applicants that didn't make the short list were Almaty Kazakhstan, Borjomi Georgia, Jaca Spain and Sofia Bulgaria. Almaty narrowly missed the cut after straddling the benchmark they need to pass to automatically qulaify. The IOC executive committee voted to exclude the bid from the list of finalists.
The campaigning was fierce and millions of dollars were spent. Salzburg was considered and early leader in the race but faced many obstacles including questionable leadership, an Austrian athletes doping scandal, the IOC... Читать дальше »

- Леша, с высоты вашего опыта 3-х Олимпиад, что посоветуете олимпийской сборной РФ в оставшиеся дни Игр в Ванкувере? Реально ли после одного удачного дня будет переломить ход провально складывавшейся Олимпиады?
- Вы знаете, постоянно весьма важно почувствовать дух победы. Здорово, что переломный миг у нас в Ванкувере все же случился.

Олимпийские чемпионы Ванкувера тренировались в Хакасии
Никита Крюков и Александр Панжинский, принесшие России первые золотую и серебряную награды, два сезона подряд выступали в «Кубке Хакасии» на лыжной трассе в поселке Вершина Теи, сообщает минспорттуризма Хакасии. Никита два года подряд, в 2007 и 2008 годах выигрывал спринт. Среднегорье, чистейший воздух, длинный световой день - это лишь малая часть достоинств лыжной трассы в Хакасии. Об этом не раз говорили сами спортсмены, в том числе и олимпийские чемпионы Ванкувера.
Sochi 2014 Olympic organizers learning big lesson: Have a backup plan
Vancouver - The rough first few days of the Vancouver Olympics provided the best lesson of all for their successors organizing the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia: have a Plan B and be ready to act on it.
Dmitry Chernyshenko, the chief executive officer of the Sochi organizing committee, made that observation Sunday, saying he was impressed how the Vancouver Organizing Committee acted swiftly when trouble spots broke out.
"It's too early to say about any conclusions we've reached, but I will share with you my first impression," he said. "The first lessons learned is that the early advanced planning, especially for the first three days of the Games, was crucial. I will tell you I am impressed with how fast and efficiently the games officials acted with all the unexpected challenges they faced."
A keen study of international relations, Chernyshenko is too polite to offer criticisms of where Vanoc might have gone wrong or what mistakes they made that he's not going to repeat when it comes time for Russia to welcome the world.
But he said the 150 members of his organization that have been folded into Vanoc as part of an observation and knowledge transfer program, are sucking up every detail they can about how the Canadians are handling the Games... Читать дальше »

"Прыгать четверной, как Плющенко, или ездить, как Лайсачек? - задался такой проблемой The Vancouver Sun. - Все ясно. Победа американца, Лайсачек".
"Это был действительно мощный прокат, к чему я всегда стремился, - заявил Лайсачек. - Да уж, я вообще никогда в жизни не катался великолепней. Я обожаю этот каток, таких болельщиков. Я лицезрел, как поднимали американский флаг, и не мог поверить, что это в честь американца".
В собственную очередь Режан Трамбле из La Presse впрочем прямо и не называет судейское решение неоднозначным и не скупится на восторги в адрес победителя, все-таки отдает должное прокату Плющенко. Очень показателен и заголовок материала - "Ждали Плющенко, а получился Лайсачек".
Президент Федерации фигурного катания на коньках Валентин Писеев считает, что поражение Евгения Плющенко в Ванкувере справедливо.
"Если бы он откатал собственную программу, как в Таллине на кубке Европы, было бы вовсе по-другому. Там он катал, как господь...
