I read on 24 this morning that some VANOC execs are actually flying to Sochi in May or something because Russian olympic committee are thinking of hiring some of the VANOC people to help them since they have fresh experience.

1 - 4 years is not 'more than enough time' because sochi is building 2 full olympic cities for the games. everything brand new from scratch. they arent using existing venues like vancouver did
2 - look back, both greece and sydney didnt have all the venues complete by the opening ceremonies for their games. shit takes time unless youre china
3 - the games will go ahead in russia even if half the games take place in moscow.

I was working at athletes village in Whistler during the paralympics and this is what I heard from one of the coordinators from Team Poland:
1) Russia will build like crazy because the current president is willing to dish out money to find the required manpower and resources.
2) The plan is to have all university students in Russia to participate in Sochi. This is why we saw many Russian volunteers/workers for the Olympics. They were sponsored by Russia to learn from Vancouver 2010 and to apply what they have learned here to Sochi.
3) Anyone eligible for military service will be involved in Sochi one way or another.
No matter how much we want the Winter Olympics to be back in Vancouver, it just will not happen. Just imagine the embarrassment if Russia cannot complete or provide enough infrastructures/venues for the Winter games. Hell will rise in Russia if that was ever to happen.
In other news, I was talking to some coaches and they said that Vancouver could become one of the host for the Summer Olympics! Just add in some tracks and a world class swimming pool then you have yourself a candidate! *wishful thinking*

Wishful thinking. Regardless of how far behind they are, they have almost four years and the Russians will throw all sorts of money and manpower at the problems. They have significantly more cash than we do...plus they don't need public approval to spend it.
And they'll break out all kinds of slaves to toil and labor until that shit is finished...or they get sent to a Siberian gulag.

Sochi is project managed by SNC Lavlin. I highly doubt they will fail.
I think a lot of RV users / Vancouverites don't understand the deep economy relations out East especially in Ontario has out with Russia. Just because Vancouver to have a huge Asian population, doesn't mean the whole Canada is too.

Winter Olympics back in Vancouver - not happening any time soon at all. There are plenty more cities out there that will get it before we do again
Winter Olympics not happening in Russia - Not a chance

Mobilizing and choosing to mobilize are two different things.

They were not ready for a war, and especially a war on 2 fronts. A majority of americans wanted to stay neutral and if it wasn't for the work of Winant and a cbs corrosponded (who's name slips me now) and the attack on pearl harbor and the treaty that germany and japan wrote, they probably wouldnt have entered the war.

I personally wouldn't want the games back in Vancouver. How soon you all have forgotten the costs! Do you want to hear the sound of another 6 billion dollars for security...which will 'definately' be more by the time 2014 rolls around. We haven't even figured out the final tally what these past games will cost us!
