The Special Olympics: Preparations for Sochi 2014 are way behind schedule

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;43675087]The stadiums built for Euro 2012 are still being used actively, except for the one in Lviv, which is temporarily closed. But I guess football gets way more attention than any Olympic sport[/QUOTE]I'd imagine football stadiums see vastly more use than Olympic stadiums and so in that sense are a better investment, just factoring in matches between local teams.

[QUOTE=ChestyMcGee;43676182]this partly does remind me a bit of the london olympics prep. the media were trying to create worry about it for years, constantly reporting about everything being behind schedule and showing shitty photographs of overcast construction sites

and then lo and behold everything went to plan and it was brilliant. almost as if the people organising one of the biggest events on the planet actually knew what they were doing. crazy isn't it[/QUOTE]

This is russia we're talking about. I wouldn't be surprised at all if everything really was horribly behind schedule.

For a second I thought this literally had to do with the special olympics after reading the thread title.
