Over the years of preparation for the 2014 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, Sochi has changed beyond recognition. The grandiose Olympic venues, which will soon host the world's best athletes and thousands of spectators, are still empty. Nevertheless, every Russian already today has the opportunity to see this sporting splendor with his own eyes. And this can be done completely free of charge - within the framework of the 2014 Steps to Sochi project.
“2014 Steps to Sochi” is a grandiose action held by the Russian Ministry of Sports on the eve of the Sochi Olympics. The main objectives of the project are to promote a healthy lifestyle and involve various categories of the population in regular sports. The main prize is a trip to Sochi for three days to get acquainted with the Olympic venues.
