The Sochi 2014 committee talked about the efficient management of the transition period between the bid committee and the organizing committee. Dmitry Chernyshenko, CEO of the Sochi 2014 bid committee said, “a detailed plan of works for the 2014 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games will be ready by August 6 for the transition period. In the meantime Sochi is getting ready to host the very first IOC Coordination Committee visit August 25-27.
