You can't be that dim, can you? Oh, of course you can...
You may not know, but the Winter Games are held in, guess when, winter. Sochi has perfectly good winter sports facilities, which makes it a skiing destination in the winter. The point of these Olympic events is that they are an opportunity to improve domestic facilities and offer a platform on which to raise the profile of the location to the rest of the world. Such an event would benefit the local economy and generate employment. But you are not interested in that because all you want to see is Russian people do badly. It is a mystery why you get so indignant about Putin repression when you have nothing but base and vile contempt for the Russian people.

Oh dear, you a really are quite a moron, aren't you? Would you care to put some money on the possiblity that the IOC will pick Sochi? Are you saying that Sochi is the best spot in all of frozen, wintery Russia for the Olympics? If you are, what does that say about Russia's image as a winter bastion?

Reithykins, why don't you try to actually do some research for once instead of just spouting nonesense? How about investigating Sochi's reputation among foreign skiiers? How about telling us how many foreign visitors travel to Sochi each year to ski, and what other international competitions have been held there?

But no, like Russia you'd prefer to live in your weirdo world of neo-Soviet dreams even as Russia slips beneath sea.

It is hard to tell whether you are dimmer than you are peculiar. Sochi is a perfectly good location for a bid city. Whether it will win the bid is another matter, though I see you have now declined to dredge up your "witty" reference to palm trees.
As I have said before, the Olympics provide an ideal opportunity to regenerate cities or depressed areas with cities, so your observations are utterly pointless. If Russia sinks "beneath the seas", as you so compassionately hope, unlike that mean old Putin, it may be in some small part because its economy does not capitalise on opportunities like this, which will enable it to develop a viable tourist industry.
But this is irrelevant to you because you are conniving liar who pretends to sympathise with Russians while praying for their extinction. You bleat piously (and dishonestly) when Russians are the victims and crow pompously when they are beset by any misfortune.
So are you dim, peculiar, or just a foul-minded ingoramus? Or all three?

It's a horrific location, with no reputation or experience in international events and no reputation for snow or mountains. In other words, its typically Russian stupidity -- full of hubrish and doomed to failure.

btw, thanks for the research!

"No reputation for snow or mountains."

There are snow and mountains an hour's drive away from Sochi. Your ignorance of the "reputation" of these mysterious mountains is neither here nor there. Why do you continue to diguise your real intentions, which are to do down the Russian people that you claim to be defending from the excesses of Putin. Again you are caught fabricating accusations to this end, but on and on you go...

REITH, you are a total MORON. At least if you are going to make a written comment try to READ what you are commenting on first.

The comment did not say there ARE NO mountains or snow, the comment said NOBODY KNOWS there is mountains or snow outside Russia (and probably very few inside as well).

The comment said no international events HAVE EVER BEEN HELD there, and foreigners NEVER GO THERE TO SKI. Hence, it is an absurd joke to think foreigners would ever vote to have this place host the games.

You IGNORE all the facts you can't deal with and just invent some to attack. That is the approach of the failed Neo-Soviet propagandist and it won't work here, you're just embarrassing yourself with it. We don't know who you usually try that garbage on, but we suspect the residents of some poor mental institution in Siberia.

Your intersting points are made no more effective by SHOUTING as they fundamentally idiotic. Do you really believe that winter Olympics bids are chosen on the basis of whether people go on holiday at the place? You are ridiculous and your arguments similarly so.
You made some idiotic facetious remark about palm trees in the ill-informed belief that Sochi does not have ski resorts. You were wrong or, more likely, you were lying in your tireless attempt to smear Russia at all costs (including making yourself look like a fool). The dignified thing to would be to admit your culpability and cease your ridiculous posturing, but that is too much to hope for.

Yes, I actually believe that an international reputation for quality skiing has something to do with placing and Olympic games. That you don't only goes to show that you think like a Russian, i.e., a total failure. When people hear "Sochi" they will fall down laughing and merely have further confirmation that Russians have their heads up their you-know-whats.

You're the one who should be apologizing for grossly mischaracterizing comments you obviously didn't even go so far as to read.
