Just Damn! I forgot all about Sarajevo!
Winter Games there were suppose to bring in all kinds of good stuff to that God forsaken backwash place.
Reinforces my opinion that the Russians thought Sochi through very diligently.
When all the westerners go home and all the grumbling about poor hotels is forgotten, the Russians will have a far more improved winter retreat. All to themselves. Thank you Olympic Committee.
And they will laugh all the way to the bank.
I could be wrong, but I think they thought, trucking in snow was a lot more economical than building a whole city in the middle of nowhere, and then leaving it to the wolves and badgers when everyone else went home.
