Probably closer to 15+ years of planning, considering they made a bid for Sochi to host in 2002. ---

Thousands of athletes, soldiers, journalists and herds of smiley volunteers are in place, eager to help. > So far, though, it seems like the only spectators milling about are Russian. > Dina Kobolenko is waiting for you at her tourist information stand near the Sochi train station, armed with maps of this subtropical resort on the Black Sea. She says that as of two days before the Games, she’d seen only a single foreigner - a South Korean. They couldn’t understand each other, though, so had to communicate in sign language. > Fears about terrorism and the hassle of reaching Sochi from points abroad may be keeping some foreigners away - and undermining Vladimir Putin’s plans to transform Sochi into a magnet for international tourism. > A train traveling between Olympic sites and downtown Sochi cheerily announces to visitors in English: “We wish you a pleasant journey!” But on a recent ride, its seats were half empty. And a sweep through four train cars found … not a single foreign fan. This got me thinking. If you have the chance, would you go to the Olympics in Russia? ---

Nope. Even if someone paid me I wouldnt go. They suck at driving, they beat you first then ask questions later…like “do you want another beating” and the fact that they have a bulls eye on them would make me says no thanks ---
