The message about the Olympic Games. Sochi Olympic Games

Action everywhere, from the Black Sea coast to the Krasnaya Polyana mountains. Superb competition venues for spectacular events, historic performances and numerous records - the XXII Olympic Winter Games kept all their promises. Here are the most memorable athlete exploits that took place in Sochi between 6 and 23 February 2014:

At 10.55 p.m. on Friday 7 February 2014, Russian three-time Olympic champions Irina Rodnina(pairs figure skating) and Vladislav Tretiak(ice hockey) lit the Olympic cauldron.

Norwegian biathlete Ole einar bjørndalen, winner of the sprint 10km and the new Olympic event, mixed relay, brought his medal count to 13, after starting at the Nagano Games in 1998 (8 gold, 4 silver and 1 bronze). He thus overtook his compatriot, Bjørn Daehlie, to become the Olympic Winter Games athlete with the most medals.

Norwegian cross-country skier Marit Bjørgen won three more gold medals in Sochi (skiathlon, team sprint and 30km freestyle), making a total of six since her first title in Vancouver in 2010, as well as a total of 10 medals won since the Games in Salt Lake City in 2002, becoming one of the Olympic Winter Games female athlete with the most medals (with Smetanina and Belmondo).

In Alpine skiing, gold medals were won by the youngest-ever Olympic champion in the history of the discipline, American Mikaela Shiffrin, 18 years and 345 days old, and the oldest, Austria’s Mario matt, aged 34 and 10 months. American Bode miller, third in the Super-G at the age of 36 years and 127 days, became the oldest-ever medallist in his discipline.

Japan's Ayumu Hirano, 15 years and 73 days old, became the youngest ever medallist on the snow in the history of the Games, when he won the silver medal in the snowboard half-pipe competition.

Russian luger Albert Demchenko and Japanese ski jumping champion Noriaki Kasai, both in their forties, were competing in their seventh edition of the Games, both winning two medals in Sochi. Kasai also equalled the record for the longest interval between two (silver) medals: 20 years!

Like Marit Bjørgen, Belarusian biathlete Darya Domracheva and Russian short-track speed skater Victor An won three gold medals at the XXII Olympic Winter Games. But the athlete who won the most medals at these Games was Ireen Wüst, with five speed skating medals (two gold, three silver)!

Ireen Wüst was a member of the Netherlands speed skating team which won 23 medals, achieved four top-three clean sweeps and was present on every one of the 12 podiums, men’s and women’s alike. A unique domination of one discipline at the Games.

For the first time in figure skating, the 100-point barrier was broken in a short program, by Japan’s Yuzuru Hanyu(101.45), who went on to win the gold medal.

Bronze medallist in 1994, silver in 1998, gold in 2002 and 2006 and bronze in 2010 and 2014, Italian luger Armin Zöggeler became the first athlete to win six consecutive medals in six editions of the Winter Games.

The first winners of the 12 new Olympic events were:

Russia (team figure skating), Germany (luge relay), Norway (biathlon mixed relay), Germany's Carina Voigt (women's ski jumping), Canadian Dara Howell and American Joss Christensen (ski slopestyle), Americans Maddie Bowman and David Wise (ski half -pipe), Jamie Anderson and Sage Kotsenburg (snowboard slopestyle), Austrian's Julia Dujmovits and Russian Vic Wild (snowboard parallel slalom).

From 7 to 23 February 2014, Sochi hosted XXII Olympic winter games, which have become a real celebration of sports. During the competition best athletes planets competed for 98 sets of medals in 15 sports. According to many sports officials and the athletes themselves, it was best Olympiad in history.

How it all began

The decision to elect Sochi as the capital of the 2014 Olympics was made at the IOC session held in Guatemala on July 4, 2007 (in Russia it was already July 5). The application of the Russian city was submitted by our famous athletes, sports leaders, well-known politicians. Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the members of the IOC.

Sochi's competitors were Korean Pyeongchang and Austrian Salzburg. In the first round of voting, no one got the necessary number of votes (more than 50%) to win. Moreover, Pyeongchang (36 votes) was able to get ahead of Sochi (34 votes). Salzburg (25 votes) became an outsider and dropped out of the further struggle.

Difficulties in preparing for the Olympic Games

Sochi is located on the Black Sea coast, in a humid subtropical climate zone. For the first time, the Winter Olympics were held in the subtropics, which gave it an extraordinary flavor. The slogan of the games was the expression “Hot. Winter. Yours. " The first word reflects both the location of the Olympics and the intensity of sports passions.

The preparation of Sochi for the Games was complicated by the fact that it was necessary not only to build Olympic facilities, but also to modernize the tourism, transport, engineering and telecommunications infrastructure. As a result, this entire resort region was completely reconstructed.

President of the International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach, speaking at the closing ceremony, noted the enormous amount of work that was carried out in Sochi in preparation for the Olympic Games. "What has been done for decades in other parts of the world," said the head of the IOC, "has been done here in 7 years."

Olympic venues in Sochi

For the 2014 Olympics, two zones were created, located at different heights: the coastal cluster and the mountain cluster.

The first zone houses the Olympic Park, which was created in the Adler area. The following facilities are located on its territory:

  • - Fisht stadium (capacity - 40 thousand spectators). In this sports arena the colorful opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics were held;
  • - Ice Palace "Bolshoi" (12 thousand), in which hockey teams competed;
  • - Ice Arena "Puck" (7 thousand) - another facility for hockey players;
  • - "Adler-Arena" (8 thousand) became the venue for speed skating competitions;
  • - The Iceberg Sports Palace (12 thousand) hosted figure skaters and short track masters;
  • - The Ice Cube Curling Center (3,000) was built for curling competitions;
  • - Olimpic village.

The coastal cluster also includes training arenas for hockey and figure skating, a Media Center, hotels for IOC members and journalists, a Theme Park, the Medal Plaza award ceremony area and some other facilities. Everything sports objects located compactly, close to each other and Olympic Village... According to Thomas Bach, the Olympics have become unique in terms of logistics. Athletes could come for breakfast and workout on foot or by bike in a few minutes.

The mountain cluster is located in the area of ​​the Krasnaya Polyana village, which is 39 km from the sea coast, at an altitude of 500 meters. The following Olympic facilities were built here:

  • - Complex "Laura" (for 7.5 thousand spectators) became the venue for competitions in biathlon, skiing and combined (cross-country skiing);
  • - Complex "Rosa Khutor" (17.7 thousand), consisting of a ski center and an extreme park, hosted skiers, snowboarders and freestyle masters;
  • - "Roller coaster" (7.5 thousand) - a complex for jumping from a springboard;
  • - Center "Sanki" (5 thousand spectators) - the venue for competitions in luge, bobsleigh and skeleton;
  • - Mountain Olympic Village.

Large-scale preparation is the key to the success of the Olympics

According to the unanimous opinion of the IOC leaders, athletes and journalists, winter Olympic Games in Sochi were successful. Large-scale preparations for the Olympics and significant costs were not in vain. An army of volunteers, numbering 25 thousand people from Russia and 60 other countries, also contributed to the success of the Olympics.

The unofficial team classification of the Olympic Games was won by Russia. Athletes from our country have won 33 medals. In total, representatives of 26 countries were able to receive awards at the XXII Winter Olympics.

So that is all. Three years and nine months after the end of the 2014 Olympics, the Russian national team is no longer its triumphant. This is a sport, it happens. Now it happens.

Zubkov, Stulneva, Fatkulina and Rumyantsev disqualified by the IOC

In 2014, it was the goal and task - to show the sports superiority of Russia at the home Games. Nothing good or bad, the usual and logical desire of the "top", moreover, in any country. There was pride and joy. Today, November 24, only humiliation and confusion remain. The great victory, no matter how it was obtained, was taken away. So far - without evidence and with a frank mockery of the laws of jurisprudence and logic. But only for now.

Which means automatic weaning of two gold medals won by Russia in twos and fours. And no less automatic loss by Russia of the first team place in the standings of the home Olympics. Then, on the evening of February 23, 2014, this test was pleasing, sparkling and sparkling with wonderful lights. We were the best in all major metrics.

Immediately after the end of the Sochi Olympics, no one had any complaints about the results. At least no one expressed them aloud. All samples of the winners of the Games turned out to be clean, and therefore the results were immediately recorded in the annals sports history... At that time, no one had yet heard about the system of state support for doping in Russia, scratches on test tubes and plumbers from the FSB. Tell who - twirl your finger at the temple.

Russian athletes who lost their 2014 Olympic medals due to disqualification

Gold
Bobsleigh, twos -, Alexey Voevoda
Bobsleigh, fours -, Alexey Negodailo, Dmitry Trunenkov, Alexey Voevoda
Cross-country skiing, 50 km - Alexander Legkov
Skeleton - Alexander Tretyakov.

Silver
Cross-country skiing, relay - Alexander Bessmertnykh, Maxim Vylegzhanin, Alexander Legkov, Dmitry Yaparov
Cross-country skiing, team sprint - Maxim Vylegzhanin, Nikita Kryukov
Cross-country skiing, mass start - Maxim Vylegzhanin
Speed ​​skating, 500 m - Olga Fatkulina.

Bronze
Skeleton - Elena Nikitina.

But in three years everything has changed dramatically. The first impetus was given by Hayo Zeppelt's scandalous film with the participation of the Stepanov family (remember those?), Then there was the McLaren report, problems with the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, the neutral flag of athletes, countless courts and commissions. In the end it got to the point that Russian athletes without any proof, they are deprived of the Olympics awards and banned from participation in the Games for life. For such decisions, the commissions must have deadly evidence at their disposal. But if they do exist, no one is in a hurry to announce them.


Return to 37th. Who will they come for next time?

The unsubstantiated arrests of Russians continue. Today it Olympic champion Tretyakov. And tomorrow - Zaitseva and Shipulin?

In early November, it was decided to disqualify Russian skiers. All Sochi merits of Alexander Legkov and Maxim Vylegzhanin were canceled, which deprived the team Russia four awards in cross-country skiing. On November 22, skeletonists also suffered: Alexander Tretyakov lost the title of Olympic champion, and Elena Nikitina was left without a bronze medal. All this led to changes in the medal standings, but there were no major rearrangements. The national team of our country has lost medal record in the entire history of the team's performances at the Winter Olympics and skipped ahead in the total number of medals for the USA and Norway national teams, but, according to the European method of counting (gold is considered first of all), it retained its leadership in the medal standings.


Hit the bobsleigh for the third time. Of the three possible gold medals in Sochi, the Russians won two: Alexei Voevoda distinguished themselves in doubles, and Dmitry Trunenkov and Alexei Negodailo helped the illustrious Russian couple in the four. The double victory was a truly historic success, because even Soviet bobsledders previously managed to win the Olympics only once - in 1988. The International Olympic Committee has robbed us of a historic achievement. The results of the best Russian crews at the Sochi Olympics were canceled.

Weak consolation can be the fact that in both cases, in the redistribution of medals, bronze will go to the second Russian teams, piloted by Alexander Kasyanov. The Russian national team, although it does not lose in the number of medals, noticeably sags in quality: 12 gold awards turn into ten, which means that according to the European scoring system adopted by us, our national team ceases to be the winner of the home Olympics. The Norwegian national team is in first place with 11 gold medals. The team of Canada goes to the second, and the Russians fall to the third line.

But nothing seems to be over yet ...

February 7-23, 2014 passed in Sochi XXII Olympic Winter Games(hereinafter referred to as the Winter Games), at which Russia took first place in the medal standings.

The Winter Games were held for the first time on the territory of our country. According to the forecasts of the Ministry of Sports of Russia, they were to become the most ambitious in terms of the number of participants and the number of awards. So, took part in the Games about 6 thousand people(participants and officials), of which - 3 thousand athletes from more than 90 countries of the world, among which 98 sets of medals... For comparison: 86 sets of awards were played at the XXI Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. It was assumed that the number of viewers who will attend the Games will be more than 1 million people, and the TV audience that is supposed to watch them is about 3 billion people.

It is curious that the only Olympic Summer Games currently held in Russia (Moscow, 1980) were also XXII.

The Olympic Games are the largest international sporting event. They are carried out once every four years under the auspices of the International Olympic Committee (hereinafter - the IOC). The organization, events and activities of the Olympic movement and the conditions for the Games are regulated by the Olympic Charter. The first Winter Olympic Winter Games took place in 1925 in Chamonix (France). From 1924 to 1992, the Winter Games were held in the same years as the Summer Games (in 1940 and 1944 they were canceled due to World War II). The next Winter Games took place in 1994, that is, two years later, rather than four, in connection with the decision to make a two-year interval between the Summer and Winter Games.

On February 7, 2014, the XXII Winter Olympic Games opened in Sochi. This is the second Olympics for Russia, the first - the 1980 Olympics - is remembered even by those who were just a child at the time of it in Moscow. But that was summer, and this is winter - everything is completely different, and the country was agitated again, like the first time. The fact that Sochi, a resort city and " summer capital”Russia was at first confusing. However, it immediately became clear that this was just another challenge, an additional reason for pride: Sochi became the first city with a subtropical climate to host the Winter Olympic Games.

Sochi's bid to host the 2014 Games was declared the winner following the 119th session of the International Olympic Committee on July 4, 2007. By tradition, at the closing ceremony of the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, a solemn program was held Olympic flag to the mayor of the city of Sochi Anatoly Pakhomov, after which the Russian flag flew over the stadium and the spectators in the stands and at the TV screens witnessed the presentation of Sochi as the hostess of the next Winter Olympics. The performance was attended by model Natalia Vodianova, prima ballerina Ulyana Lopatkina, figure skaters Tatyana Navka and Roman Kostomarov, opera singer Maria Guleghina, the Mariinsky Theater Symphony Orchestra conducted by Valery Gergiev. In the final of the performance, a huge logo of the Sochi Olympics appeared at the stadium.

The 2014 Games were held at two venues. The Krasnaya Polyana ski resort, 39 km from the city, hosted outdoor sports events: bobsleigh, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, etc. Among other Olympic facilities, the Rzhanaya Polyana bobsleigh track and the Rosa Khutor ski complex appeared here. ”(Its first stage was opened at the end of 2010) and the mountain Olympic village.

And in Sochi itself, a grandiose Olympic park was built to host competitions in figure skating, hockey, ice skating, curling - in general, those sports that require indoor spaces.

The Olympic Park in Sochi included the following facilities:

  • Big Ice Arena- hockey, 12,000 spectators,
  • Small ice arena - hockey, 7000 spectators,
  • Speed ​​skating center - skating, 8000 spectators,
  • Ice Sports Palace - figure skating, short track, 12000 spectators,
  • Curling arena - curling, 3000 spectators,
  • Olympic Stadium, 40,000 spectators,
  • The main Olympic village.

The organizing committee of the Olympic Games in Sochi presented the emblem of the Games on December 1, 2009, and on February 26, 2011, the results of the popular vote were summed up and three mascots of the upcoming Olympics were chosen - polar bear, leopard and hare. The song recorded for Sochi's application to the IOC by Russian pop stars became the anthem of the games.

The Olympic Games in Sochi lasted 17 days, 92 sets of medals were played in 15 sports. The right to host the Olympics means in itself the recognition of Russia as a strong player in the international arena. And such a large sport's event always contributes to the development of the infrastructure of the region in which it is held, to increase the level of attractiveness of the region for tourists and the international prestige of the host country.

Sochi became the first city with a subtropical climate to host the Winter Olympic Games.

In order to be involved in the most important sporting event in the life of the country, it was not at all necessary to be a member of the organizing committee of the Games. The Olympic and Paralympic Games could not have been organized and held without the participation of enthusiastic volunteers. The Sochi Olympics involved 25,000 volunteers.
