yeah the venues are by studio zopinni, without a doubt the designs will be changed and in some cases even scaled down, but thats all part of being a host city

Bahnsteig4 · July 9th, 2007, 10:48 PM

Truly impressive, considering that nothing's been built yet.

Are there any figures regarding the number of people having to be moved to make place for these wonderful venues?

Coastal Cluster, everything will be build form scratch:

Strange, I though the Olympic park would be in the city of Sochi itself, or possibly next to it. But by the map, its located in Adler (a town next to Sochi), not Sochi.

Ecologists Put Sochi Olympics in Jeopardy

Oct. 24/2007

The Maikop City Court has upheld the lawsuit of Valery Brinikh, co-chairman of the International Social and Ecological Union, and invalidated the order of Russia’s Natural Resource Ministry that stripped roughly 10,000 hectares of Sochi National Park of the strict protection status. As quite a number of key facilities for Sochi 2014 Olympics are to be constructed exactly there, the whole program of Olympics preparation is under the threat now.

Co-chairman of International Social and Ecological Union, Brinikh went to law to challenge the Natural Resource Ministry’s order of August 27, 2006 related to the Sochi National Park. By that document, the bureaucrats cancelled the strict protection status for roughly 10,000 hectares in the Aibga, Psekhako, Grushevy ridges and in Turji mountains of the National Park.

According to experts of Greenpeace-Russia, who consulted Brinikh on the matter, the reserve lost some land to authorize construction of Olympic buildings. At first Russia’s environmental watchdog, Rosprirodnadzor, prepared an environmental conclusion that sanctioned the changes in terms of ecology and the Natural Resourse Ministry OKed the results in the next move.

The recent award of Maikop City Court jeopardizes the whole program of Olympics preparation. Indeed, quite a number of key facilities for Sochi 2014 Olympics are to be constructed exactly at that challenged land that enjoyed the national reserve status about a year ago. Regardless, they aren’t very much agitated in the Natural Resource Ministry. “One court has passed the judgment, another will recall it,” they say.

Ecologist Wins Lawsuit Against Sochi 2014
Posted 11:20 am ET (GamesBids.com)

An ecologist campaigning against the construction of Olympic facilities on the grounds of Sochi National Park has won his lawsuit.

Valery Brinikh, co-chairman of the International Social and Ecological Union, proved the illegality of the Natural Resources Ministry’s order to change the borders of Sochi National Park, reports RBC Daily. Experts say the ruling calls into question the possibility of 2014 Winter Olympic Games being held in Sochi.

Last October the Natural Resources Ministry signed an order “amending the regulations on the Sochi National Park federal state organization” stripping some areas of its reserve status. On January 26 the government approved plans to build social infrastructure facilities in 16 sections of the Krasnopolyanskoye forest district, part of Sochi National Park.

Sports facilities are to be constructed in those areas for the Sochi 2014 Games but ecologists waged a campaign against turning the reserve into an Olympic venue. A lawsuit by Brinikh was rejected but on October 22 the Maikop City Court upheld the case. Brinikh proved the illegality of the changes on the zoning of Sochi National Park.

The ruling reportedly will affect the construction of an Olympic village on Grushevy Ridge, which is to be financed by private investment.

BDO Unicon Consulting, a partner and official consultant of Sochi 2014, told RBC Daily that the bid book was prepared in strict compliance with the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) environmental standards. Igor Orlov, senior manager, said “our plans for sporting facilities respect all environmental requirements, otherwise our bid could not have won”. He said the court ruling’s coming into effect would mean a delay of at least several months in implementing the Olympic project.

The government is expected to defend the case.

I said it from the beginning....all these new venues being built are unsustainable, and i knew this lawsuit on the Sochi National Park was gonna happen. There were simply too many flaws in their 2014 bid, and sadly it was all hidden up by the glamour the Russian bid had.

There's still time for the IOC to rethink its decision.

why is this in the stadiums and sports arenas section?
if there are new images of venues or proposed venues please add them..but we cant create threads each time a venue(s) is under threat of being stopped. we should rather add information in a general Sochi 2014 or Vancouver 2010 thread covering all venues and issues relating to those games

Czar Putin will not let those hippies spoil the Olympics.

Meet Miga the Sea Bear, Quatchi the Sasquatch, and Sumi, the Thunderbird

Jeff Lee, Vancouver Sun
Published: Tuesday, November 27, 2007

Meet Miga the Sea Bear, Quatchi the Sasquatch, and Sumi, the Thunderbird.

Along with a virtual sidekick, Mukmuk the Vancouver Island Marmot, who will never make an appearance in the flesh, these are mascots the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games organizers hope will be adopted and adored by thousands of children around the world.

Vanoc unveiled a combination of British Columbia animals, an aboriginal mythic creature and a long sought-after half-man Tuesday as the flagbearers for its Olympic program, and in doing so joined a long list of organizing committees that have used cute and cuddly as the benchmarks for successful mascots.

None of the three mascots actually exist in real life: Miga the Sea Bear is a combination of an orca and a bear. Sumi, the Paralympic mascot, is a Thunderbird but looks more like a bear with wings.

And Quatchi is the first Sasquatch in history to actually make an appearance before human beings.

As for Mukmuk, it's actually the only real animal. But Vanoc says it isn't really a mascot and will only make appearances on its website.

The mascots are the creation of Vancouver graphic designers Vicki Wong and Michael Murphy, who own Meomi Design. Vanoc says that although the two provided more than 20 different concepts, it was Quatchi, Miga and Sumi that they first proposed and which were selected as winning designs.

Vanoc's much-anticipated mascots made their first appearances in Surrey at the Bell Performing Arts Centre in front of 800 school children, starting with a cartoon showing how Quatchi and Miga meet in the forests of British Columbia and then encounter Sumi at Whistler.

Vanoc says Miga is a sea bear "inspired by the legends of the Pacific Northwest First Nations, tales of orca whales that transform into bears when they first arrive on land."

Quatchi, according to Vanoc spokeswoman Renee Smith-Valade, became the instant hit with boys, while Miga resonates more with girls. Quatchi "reminds us of the mystery and wonder that exist in the natural world," Vanoc said.

And Sumi is an animal spirit whose name comes from the Salish word "Sumesh", meaning 'guardian spirit."

There's also a FOURTH MASCOT, the official fan: "Mumuk" the Vancouver Island Marmot
