Sochi is a beach resort.  It gets colder in the winter, but still averages above freezing.  They stockpiled snow for the olympic events, but conditions were still poor for some of the outdoor events.

hmm, nice to know dumb hosting decisions aren't exclusive to football then. Of all those freezing cold Russian cities that could have held the winter Olympics... they choose a beach resort?

It's not unusual for different cities in the same country competing for the Olympics. I remember that for germany too. But still strange that Sochi applied for winter olympics and stranger even it was chosen.
