The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has praised Sochi’s preparations for the 2014 Winter Olympics.
The IOC’s co-ordination commission paid its fourth visit to the Russian host city this week to mark the midway point in its preparations for the Games.
Commission chairman Jean-Claude Killy said: “Once again we have been impressed by the quality of the work that Sochi 2014 and its partners have presented to us during our visit.
“As they reach the halfway point in their preparations, we can see the progress that is being made, with sporting venues rising from the ground, new sections of road being used by the public, and environmental initiatives being undertaken.
“Sochi 2014 is delivering on its promises to the athletes, and preparations remain on track.”
Killy continued: “It is also reassuring to see that the Sochi team has understood what still needs to be delivered, both in terms of infrastructure and in services to the athletes and others attending the Games.
“They are attentive to the task ahead, and this must continue until the Games are over. With the highly competent team they have in place, I have no doubt that this will be the case.”
Dmitry Chernyshenko, president and chief executive of the Sochi 2014 organising committee, added: “Significant steps forward have been made across all areas of our work, ensuring we remain on track to deliver an inspirational and innovative Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in 2014.”
The next visit of the co-ordination commission to Sochi will be from March 22 to 24, 2011.
