This is one reason among many that Putin rolled on Crimea.

Too early to judge, perhaps? Sochi is a summer destination for the most part, isn’t it? If it’s still like this in July, then I’d agree it’s bad news.

Their weather is similar to the Carolinas so I would expect spring would be springing.

That’s pretty much standard for many Olympic venues. Billions to build for a few weeks use and then either a speedy or slow decline into ruin.

Many of those buildings will become summer homes and hotel rooms, since Sochi is a famous summer resort dating from the late Czarist times.

My understanding is that it was never a true or proper "winter olympics" climate or venue in the first place. It was chosen simply because Putin wanted it. A lot of hard work and luck in the surrounding mountains luckily made it.
