The Heat Is On!

          The 2014 Winter  Olympics is going on. Presently this is being held in Sochi, Russia. For this year's prestigious event, 88 nations participated on 98 events. Presently the three countries which are on the top of the standing ladder are Canada, Netherlands and Norway.

          Yet still a long way to go for all the participants as the games continue during the games.  Many controversies also emerge during the past days yet the spirit of the games continue to emerge. Just to  share some highlights of the events:

-Alex Bilodeau, one of Canada's top performers, came up as the best performer in the men's mogul competition. He successfully defended his title in spite of the strong performance of the other participants.

- Team Netherlands also emerged triumphant in the 500m Olympic Speed sakting competition bested the field with such power that they toppled all competitors.

- Martin Fourcade, representative of France, became the recipient of the first gold medal of the country by emerging victorious in the biathlon pursuit. 

          Anyway the venue of the competition is held in 2 primary locations namely: Sochi Olympic park and Krasnaya Polyana. Of the 2 main venues, some of the corresponding venues are: Laura Biathlon and Ski Complex, Rhosa Khotur Extreme Park, Sliding Center Sanki from the Krasnaya Polyana. On the other hand, from the Olympic park, here are some interesting places:  Fisht Olympic Stadium, Bolshoi Ice Dome, Shayba Arena, Adler Arena skating Center and the Ice Cube Center.

          Games continue to become interesting as the days move on hence we therefore expect more de;iveries from the sport's favorites and we also expect new heroes for this year's Olympics.
