Welcome!

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
