Olympic village at Sarajevo, site of the 1984 winter games
(not sure when this was taken)
Its well known that Sochi is the Russian WINTER RESORT! Russians go there to get out of the cold.
Why do winter Olympics in a warm place? My opinion is that they wanted an excuse to build up the place. Their alternative was to “create” a venue in a cold place that had no infrastructure, population, etc. etc., and on and on.
How many olympic sites around the world are now abandoned derelicts? China’s summer spectacle is now a graffiti festooned wasteland. I think those sly Rooskies didn’t want that legacy and wanted to kill 2 birds with one stone.
No insider knowledge, just MHO.
Now, as for the GorBullWarming clowns to point to Sochi, a well known moderated climate city, as an example of winter disappearing, well, stupid is as stupid does. And you just CAN’T fix stupid.
