Olympic Park paving worthy of a medal
Gigantic construction work was known to be underway in southern Russian Sochi already many months before the mega event Olympic Winter Games 2014 were kicked off. Villages built to accommodate the participating athletes and a complete railroad line were erected in record time. In addition, five arenas and the central stadium were constructed on a site on which previously not a single sports facility had existed. Russia spent an estimated 37 billion euros on the image project.
