context_page_description: The 2014 Winter Olympics, officially called the XXII Olympic Winter Games and commonly known as Sochi 2014, was an international winter multi-sport event that was held from 7 to 23 February 2014 in Sochi, Krasnodar Krai, Russia. Opening rounds in certain events were held on 6 February 2014, the day before the opening ceremony.
  These were the first Olympic Games under the International Olympic Committee presidency of Thomas Bach. Both the Olympics and Paralympics were organized by the Sochi Organizing Committee. Sochi was selected as the host city in July 2007, during the 119th IOC Session held in Guatemala City. It was the first Olympics to be held in a CIS state after the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. The Soviet Union was previously the host nation for the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow.
  A record ninety-eight events in fifteen winter sport disciplines were held during the Games. A number of new competitions—a total of twelve accounting for gender—were held during the Games, including biathlon mixed relay, women's ski jumping, mixed-team figure skating, mixed-team luge, half-pipe skiing, ski and snowboard slopestyle, and snowboard parallel slalom.
context_section_description: The Sochi Olympic Park was built by the Black Sea coast in the Imeretinsky Valley, about 4 km (2.5 miles) from Russia's border with Abkhazia/Georgia. The venues were clustered around a central water basin on which the Medals Plaza is built, allowing all indoor venues to be within walking distance. It also features "The Waters of the Olympic Park" (designed by California-based company WET), a choreographed fountain which served as the backdrop in the medals awards and the opening and closing ceremonies of the event. The new venues include:
  Fisht Olympic Stadium – ceremonies (opening/closing) 40,000 spectators
  Bolshoy Ice Dome – ice hockey (final), 12,000 spectators
  Shayba Arena – ice hockey, 7,000 spectators
  Adler Arena Skating Center – speed skating, 8,000 spectators
  Iceberg Skating Palace – figure skating, short track speed skating, 12,000 spectators
  Ice Cube Curling Center – curling, 3,000 spectators
  Main Olympic village
  International broadcasting centre and main press room
