Is that Sochi on the Black Sea? Isn't that too warm for winter Olympics?

I was there 6 years ago (and probably will go there within the next week, since Paiktis do not respond) and I can confirm - it's a unique place, with unique nature and climate. You can see the snow tops of the mountains right from the beach. You can go from the Miditerenian shore like beaches to Alpine like mountains within a half of the hour. And there are a lot of snow even at July.

Olympics in Russia? This should be cute.

[milfovoxapl]

I'm having a hard time grasping the idea.
What next? Sudan for Summer Olympics?

[cialviagra]

Um, Canada? Greenland?

A real honest to goodness question, since no more U S S R and now Russia, what parts of the former U S S R will compete under the "Russian" Country Flag? None. Except the Russian Federation (former RSFSR - now Russia).

I ask, I know a lot of pain and politics are about, I just wonder, in the USA, if someone is from another country they dont compete on America's Team, they go to their country.

Thanks

Gramps The same is true for Russia, as well. A lot of Russian sportsmen won Olympic medals for other countries (not even former USSR republics, like Austria, f.e.) since the collapse of the SU, because they've switched their citizenship. You can't be a member of your Motherland Olympic team, if you are a citizen of a different country. The rules are simple.
The last Olypic games when all parts of the former USSR performed as united team of the CIS (Commonwealth of Indepedent States) was in 1992, iirc. After that everyone on its own.

I congratulate you, and your response is talk trash at me.
Ok, Serb. Now I know how you are.

[Seasmillets]

I didn't even joke about your non-existent knowledge of geographic location of Sudan.

[Erunsenef]

It's unbelievable, but Russia is more cold country than Canada.

But not further north, unless you've got some itty-bitty islands I can't see...
