The '''2014 Winter Olympics''', officially the '''XXII Olympic Winter Games''', or the 22nd [[NBC Winter Olympics|Winter Olympics]], is scheduled to take place from the 7th to the 23rd of February 2014, in [[Sochi, Russia]], with some events held in the resort town of Krasnaya Polyana. Ninety-eight events in fifteen winter sports will be held. Both the Olympic and ''Paralympic Games'' are being organized by the Sochi Organizing Committee (SOC).

Sochi was selected as the host city on 4 July 2007 during the 119th IOC Session in [[Guatemala City]], defeating bids from Salzburg, Austria; and Pyeongchang, South Korea. The Sochi Olympics are the first Winter Olympics (and first Olympics altogether) for the Russian Federation, as the [[NBC Summer Olympics (1980)|1980 Summer Olympics]] in Moscow were in the Soviet Union.

Construction in preparation for the Games involves the building of new venues; and modernizing the telecommunications, power, and transport infrastructure of the area. This will include the construction of a new Olympic Park by the [[Black Sea]] coast in the Imeretin Valley, with venues clustered around a central area. The venues in Krasnaya Polyana will also be new.
