Winter olympic games in Sochi



On February 7th the winter olympic games in Sochi sarted with a lovely opening ceremony.
Sochi is a town in Russia where usually the russians pass summer holidays, as it is one of the warmest places in Russia, directly near the Black Sea, but there are also high mountains in the area and it snows in winter.
They did a magnific show with dancers on rollerblades, ballet, artistic performances, all the time with special illumination, large helium inflated elements representing russian buildings, landscapres floating through the air.
The tree mascots were presented, a big bear, a beautiful white rabbit and a leopard, all of them moving by remote control.
Then all the participating athletes entered the stadium, each nation carrying a flag of its country. In the end the Olympic torch was brought by an athlete and they lighted the Olympic fire, which kept burning during the 2 weeks of the games. Afterwards a magnificent firework finished the opening ceremony.

I like Olympic games and saw some of the sport. I prefer sky racing and especially the new competitions with snow boards and jumping. Others as for example curling I find a bit boring.
