2014 Winter Olympics: A Complete Preview of the Sochi Games. Sochi's victorious bid for the 2014 Winter Olympics brings the Games back within Russian borders for the second time ever. Moscow, then part of the Soviet Union, hosted the 1980 Summer Games. Sochi, like Vancouver before it, won a narrow victory over PyeongChang, South Korea. Sochi claimed the bid by just four votes. Salzburg, Austria, once again was in the final three bids but lost in a first run-off. Sochi is a unique place to host the Winter Games in that it isn't a traditional winter getaway like Lake Placid, Salt Lake City, or Torino, Italy. Sochi is a resort town, but it's actually more a summer vacation spot. It is the first Winter Olympics that will take place in a subtropical climate, but nearby mountains make it possible for the mountainous events to work.
