world atlas Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Krasnaya Polyana "Gorki" Gorod Mountain Olympic Village The Mountain Olympic Village is situated within easy reach of the Alpine Skiing Center, the Freestyle Center and the Snowboard Park. The competitors will be housed in comfortable rooms, in hotels, apart-hotels and cottages built in the alpine style. Sliding Center "Sanki" The course is going to host competitions in bobsleigh, skeleton and luge. Gorki" Media Center The "Gorki" Media Center is situated at the very heart of the Mountain Cluster, in the "Gornaya Karusel" complex at a height of 540 m above sea level. The Endurance Village The Endurance Olympic Village is situated within easy reach (500-800 meters) of the cross-country ski and biathlon center, which will mean that those competing in these events will be accommodated at the same height as the height at which the events are going to take place.

Olympian2004 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 In fact, the Olympic Stadium (especially the roof) looks like nothing substantial has happened there in months. Do they know that the Games are only seven months away? It's really strange - all other venues were finished way ahead of the Games, but the venue that will be the main focus of the world (because the opening ceremony always draws the biggest Olympic TV audience, I guess) seems to go into a last minute finish. And that although the roof design doesn't look that complex and difficult. And by the way: Where's the cauldron??? Just kidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I agree...I'm kinda alarmed they've stopped working on the stadia for quite a long time. Also after watching the opening of the Universiade today i'm starting to think that maybe adding a temporary roof for the ceremonies wasn't much of a good idea.

Rob. Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Are there meant to be any test events there also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 ^^ I don't think so. Much like Kazan Arena, it seems they will use the stadium for the ceremonies first, then install the football pitch once the games are over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron-pierreIV Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 It looks like the Fisht(?) stadium will be almost completely enclosed. Therefore, there will be tons of overhead stunts and all sorts of flying wonders. I guess it will be the MOST "overhead-oriented" ceremony after Sydney and Kazan; and at least one ceremonial cauldron will again be an interior one.

PyroKinesis Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Yeah, not too happy about another indoor ceremony, especially after renderings showed a pretty open stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 why was that roof added? i don't get why it needed to be blk? looking forward to the glass shell thingy to start. it all looks very nice, if they can fill all the voids with amazing trim and (i hope) a little more plantlife among the stadiums it's gonna be super cool. months to go.....can't believe it!

baron-pierreIV Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) Yeah, not too happy about another indoor ceremony, especially after renderings showed a pretty open stadium. Never go by renderings. Those, even in any bid, are just initial visuals of the particular artists hired to whip up some pictorials. They have nothing to do with the actual finished product. I think with the spectacular show at Kazan and who knows-what-else at the IAAF show in Moscow, Scott Givens and his Russian team will have to try and top those shows...thus, they are going for a fully enclosed show to avail of a lot of ceiling stuff. Otherwise, Sochi's opening would just be on the scale of Sydney's opening -- not the fullest use of flying stunts altho of course it will supposedly be heavy on figure skating availing of the big arsenal of Russian skaters.

FYI Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Yeah, think of Olympic "renderings" as "concept" cars. The concept model never looks anything like the final production model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cslopes54 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 They better put some shiny glass or led screen on that black part of the roof, that ruined it for me it was my favorite stadium in renders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Europe Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 However, the black part of the roof is a temporary one, isn't? It will be removed when the stadium will be prepared for the World Cup. It seems as an afterthough anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
