The Olympic Games in Sochi 2014.

The Olympic Games are the world’s brightest sporting event. Hundreds of athletes dream of participating in them. Those who go up the Olympic pedestal become an example for millions of spectators. Their achievements remain in the history of sport and the Olympic movement forever.

The motto of the Olympics is the slogan offered by Baron Pierre de Coubertin in 1894. It sounds like "Faster, higher, stronger". Since the end of the 19th century every four years people all over the world stand motionless, watching the competitions of the best athletes from different continents in the White Olympic Games. And then it is decided who is "the fastest, the highest, the strongest" of all, who will receive a great honour to have a title of the Olympic champion of the Winter Olympics and possess the Olympic medal. It is known that this medal is the highest award in sport. I think it is quite fair. The best sportsmen win the Olympic Games. The victory in such competitions is always a great talent together with hard work, years of training, traumata, disappointments… It is known that first of all, each athlete wins himself - his fears, doubts, pain and laziness. Therefore, it is possible to say that the Olympic Games improve a person, help him come nearer to the ideal – to the Gods, who lived in Ancient Olympia.

The Winter Olympic Games are held every four years. The cities of the whole world fight for the right to hold the next competitions. The 2014 Winter Olympic Games will be held in the Russian city of Sochi. Having received the right to host the Winter Olympics some Russians have a question: “Do we need them? They are too expensive for our country!” Certainly, we have a lot of problems which we must solve. They are problems in medicine, culture, education and so on. But on the other hand, the Olympic Games are a national holiday, the event uniting all the people with a common idea. The Olympic Games last only three weeks, but the authority and respect of the country remain forever.

Like the majority of the Russians, I am very glad of the fact of holding the winter games in Sochi and I consider that it is a great honour for my country. Undoubtedly, I am going to keep an eye on the games in Sochi, to watch the competitions on TV, to root for our Russian sportsmen very actively. The English proverb says: ”Every dog is a lion at home”.  That’s why I hope that thanks to the support of millions of fans our sportsmen will be able to rise to the highest step of the pedestal in each kind of winter sports.

Besides, the Olympic Games are the opportunity for Russian people to rethink their attitude to sport. I believe that the preparation for the White Olympic Games will become the beginning of a real revival of sport in our country. Sports schools, stadiums, playgrounds will be built and reconstructed, free sections will be opened for children and teenagers. Perhaps, some today's kids, who go skating or skiing, will set a goal – to get to the White Olympics, not in 2014, of course, but some of them, without any doubt, will achieve their goals. 

Any person can hope for success. He or she should only strive for it. The more people will seek for high achievements in sport, the more champions and record-breakers of the Winter Olympic Games will be! I wish great victories and personal records to all the future champions!
