Alexander Zhukov, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation and Chairman of the Sochi 2014 Supervisory Board, confirmed Wednesday at the 16th General Assembly of the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) that Sochi 2014 is ahead of schedule and within budget. It’s Sochi’s first official update since it was awarded the 2014 Games.
Sochi 2014 President and CEO Dmitry Chernyshenko reaffirmed in his address that the Winter Games will be ready on time, with test events organized at least two years in advance. He added that the Sochi 2014 Games concept is unique in its simplicity, providing the entire Olympic Family with purpose-built 21st century facilities that form a unique and compact plan. Thirteen new winter sport venues will be built in two clusters, less than 40 minutes apart.
