Russia's accomidations for the Winter Olympics

A lot of attention has been on Russia's security arrangements in Sochi, but there has also been concern that the country's plans for accommodations in the city will not be completed by the time the opening ceremony commences. In total this is 3 of 9 hotels being built for tourists and journalists are said not to have been completed yet.

Sochi organizers: Only six of nine media hotels ready

Quote:

SOCHI, Russia (AP) — A stray dog inside the hotel, building dust everywhere and debris scattered all around. That's what some Olympic-accredited visitors have found on arrival in the mountains above Sochi.

According to the Sochi Olympic organizing committee, only six of the nine media hotels in the mountain area are fully operational. The accommodation for athletes, however, has not been affected by the problems.

The Olympics open on Friday, with some preliminary competitions scheduled for the previous day, but it is common for many journalists to arrive several days in advance of the games.

Accomodation for everyone but the foreign media. What a coincidence.

I don't think this sort of thing is going to reflect well on Russia on the world stage....
