Welcome to Sean's Sochi Olympic Blog! Once again, I have been fortunate enough to be invited by NBC to work in COMM's for them at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games. I am heading off to Sochi on February 1st and will be returning home on February 24th.
During my time in Sochi, I hope to be able to keep you up-to-date on what's going on "behind the scenes" in sport and in broadcasting, as well as giving you a glimpse of any unusual, interesting, or extraordinary things or places that I might have a chance to see or visit.
This is my 9th Olympic games working for NBC, and my 5th time keeping a blog. There are links to my London, Vancouver, Beijing, and Torino blogs in my sidebar.
I feel I need to temper expectations a bit. Sochi is not like London, Vancouver or Beijing. I may have limited access to anything other than the "Coastal Venues" in the Olympic Park, and the IBC. I'm also not sure how much Internet access I will have.
The "Coastal Venues" are actually located in a small town called Adler, which is just outside Sochi. This is where I will be spending most, if not all, of my time. Hopefully, I will find enough things to do and see in this area to keep you interested.
I've never been to Russia, so I am excitedly looking forward to my time in Sochi. I expect to be captivated, astonished, thrilled, or terrified by something every day. I hope you will be too!
Cheers - Sean
I am looking forward to anything but I do wish it was somewhere more exciting! LOL!
