In this photo taken Thursday, Aug. 9, 2011, cranes surround the Olympic Stadium at the Olympic Park which is under construction in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, southern Russia with the poster reading "Passage" on the right. Sochi will host the 2014 Winter Olympics. The idea of holding the Winter Olympics in Sochi once seemed as much of a long shot as a gold medal for Jamaica's bobsledders, a city that few outside Russia had ever heard of, in a country notorious for inefficient construction, corruption, and a byzantine visa regime.
