Having the winter Olympics in the warmest place in the host country. Go figure.

The Olympic Committee picked a warm place to hold the Winter Olympics on purpose so they can help push the “global warming” meme.

Sochi always seemed - to me at least - a rather odd choice to hold the Winter Olympics; it’s known as the “Russian Riveria” and it’s one of the very few places in Russia that has a subtropical climate. Winters in Sochi are generally mild.

As big as Russia is, perhaps an area where the climate is more ideally suited to actual winter games might have been a better choice. But, that’s just my two cents.

IT’S GORE-BULL WARMING, I TELL YA!!

Isn't Sochi not much different from the Vancouver/Whistler Olympics? Vancouver has palm trees but the winter events were not far away at whistler which is at a much higher elevation and farther inland.

I thought part of the appeal of Sochi is that people could experience warm temperatures near the coast and head up the slopes where conditions would be alpine.

The only thing crazier is if Roger Goodell decided to hold the Super Bowl in NY in early Feb.

Warm as the Lake Placid Olympics in 1980?

If they think it’s hot now, just wait until the Chechnyans arrive.

Every Olympics, the news stories are so dire of disaster. However, they all end up an incredible experience and something for the entire family to enjoy. Ignore the naysayers. So sick of negative people.
