The 2014 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XXII Olympic Winter Games, is an international winter sports event that will be held from February 7 to February 23 2014. The host city, Sochi, Russia, was chosen on July 4 2007, during the 119th International Olympic Committee (IOC) meeting in Guatemala City, Guatemala.[1] This will be Russia's first time hosting the Winter Olympics (the Soviet Union hosted the 1980 Summer Games in Moscow though).
