Russia has wisely chosen Sochi as the right spot for the 2014 Winter Olympics because the place offers sumptuous locations and landscapes needed to host a world class event like the Winter Olympics. The organizing committee has divided the venue into two clusters viz. Mountain cluster (Krasnaya Polyana) and Coastal cluster (Sochi Olympic Park).

Coastal Cluster (Sochi Olympic Park) :
The Sochi Olympic Park is being built near the Black Sea coast which is at a distance of 4 kilometres from Russia’s border with Georgia. The whole park is being built in such a way that all the Olympic venues are at a walking distance from each other. This certainly brings compactness and better control to the overall organisation of the 2014 Winter Olympics.
