Situated along the shores of the Black Sea near the Caucasus Mountains, Sochi will welcome the world as it hosts the 22nd Olympic and 11th Paralympic Winter Games from February to March 2014.
The Countdown Clock in Sochi marks 1000 days to the start of Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games – the first Winter edition of the Games ever to be held in Russia.
In February and March 2014, the Russian Federation will host the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in the city of Sochi, located on the shores of the Black Sea near the Caucasus Mountains. Construction of the modern infrastructure and brand new venues make this among one of the greatest building projects ever associated with an Olympic Games. During the 2012-2013 winter season, more than 20 international test events in all 15 Olympic disciplines and five Paralympic disciplines will take place in Sochi.
The Sochi 2014 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games will be the most compact in the history of the Olympic Movement – the Organizing Committee aims to keep the distances between arenas, as well as between the Mountain and Coastal Clusters, short and handicap accessible.
OMEGA’s timekeeping professionals have worked closely with the IOC and the Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee from the beginning stages to ensure that the results of each Olympic and Paralympic athlete is timed, recorded and displayed with the utmost precision and reliability.
