Hey everyone,

I was just randomly searching for images and I came across this one of the Sochi Olympic Stadium. I know its way to early to say that its set in stone, but it shows a cauldron already there.

Here is the link for the photo:

I need to learn how to post pictures,

What do you guys think of it?

Yep, most of the time all those nice illustrations and renderings that cities show the IOC during he bid phase are really just place-marks to visualize the city's "Games concept”. They won’t actually be build - and for structural reasons, may not even be able to be build (London's comes to mind).

Some examples:

Sochi's Olympic Stadium will probably turn out no different.

The following link leads to the site of the Sochi Olympic construction agency "Olympstroy"

http://www.sc-olympstroy.ru/en/olympic_spo..._5/index.phpher

It has the latest (but not yet final) updates on all Sochi venues and infrastructure.

Enjoy :)

I can't find something about the speed skating venue. Are the plans not completed yet?

Shame bout this design being replaced. Would of loved to see it come into fruition. Anyways, I hope that at least the Sochi Olympic Stadium will look likes its renderings. It is probably to early to tell. So, why not just make this the overall thread for the venues? Keep it all in one place.......
