Ceremony Details:
98 events in 15 winter sport disciplines will be held throughout the
Games. A number of new competitions—a total of twelve accounting for
gender—will be held during the Games, including biathlon mixed relay,
women's ski jumping, mixed-team figure skating, mixed-team luge,
half-pipe skiing, ski and snowboard slopestyle, and snowboard parallel
slalom. The events will be held around two clusters of new venues; an
Olympic Park was constructed in Sochi's Imeretinsky Valley on the coast
of the Black Sea, with Fisht Olympic Stadium and the Games' indoor
venues located within walking distance, and snow events will be held in
the resort settlement of Krasnaya Polyana. The Opening Ceremony for the
2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, are just three days away, and
event organizers have been tight-lipped about the planned processions,
preferring to spring the surprise on the public during Friday night’s
spectacle.
Nations will send a flag bearer along with other Olympic athletes into the stadium to represent their participation in the Olympics. The nations will enter alphabetically with two exceptions -- Greece will be the first, as the Olympics originated there; the last nation will be Russia as the host country. The U.S. flag bearer won’t be announced until a day or two before the Ceremony, as team captains will decide who ends up with the honor. The 230 U.S. athletes will be wearing sweaters that are quite patriotic, featuring stars and stripes on the sleeves and red, white and blue all over the middle. At the 2012 London Games, Ralph Lauren was heavily criticized for having manufactured the uniforms in China. This year, the uniforms were made in the U.S., by wool carted from Oregon, spun in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, and knit in California. Two speeches will be given, one by OCOG President Dmitry Chernyshenko and the other by International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach. This is Bach's first year as IOC president, thus his first Olympic speech. Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has spent more than $50 billion on these Olympics, will then declare the start of the Games.

The 2014 Winter Olympics, officially the XXII Olympic Winter Games, or

competitions began on the eve of the Opening Ceremony, 6 February 2014.
Both the Olympics and 2014 Winter Paralympics are being organized by the
