Olympic Park in Sochi
The Olympic Park in Sochi was built for the 2014 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games and was designed so that all facilities were within walking distance of each other.
One of the main attractions that attract the attention of tourists is the "Singing Fountain", which raises the water above 50 meters, and the diameter of its thicket is 75 meters. The water in the fountain is supplied to 264 nozzles, the water jets are illuminated by thousands of strobe lights. All communications and musical equipment are located under the fountain. To reproduce 1 song in a dance, specialists need to spend more than a month of painstaking work. Among the compositions played in the fountain, you can hear works by P.I. Tchaikovsky, M.I.Glinka, A.I. Khachaturian, as well as songs by Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury and many other famous songs and compositions.
Fisht Stadium, where the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games took place, stands out among the buildings in the park. The stadium was named after the peak of the Caucasus Mountain Range. The stadium's capacity was 40,000 people. The 2018 FIFA World Cup matches will be held at Fisht Stadium. Next in size is the Bolshoy Stadium with a capacity of 12,000 people, where ice hockey competitions are held. Of the significant facilities on the territory of the Olympic Park, it is worth noting the Sochi Autodrome, the venue of the Formula 1 competitions. The autodrome track wraps around or runs next to the Olympic facilities and is similar in idea to the track in the Sydney Olympic Park.
The architects of the Olympic Park have not forgotten about entertainment for children. A theme park was built for them, the main idea of which is the cultural wealth of Russia. There are 20 attractions to choose from: the Firebird Tower, the Serpent Gorynych and Sharolet slides, the Magic Maze, and the Quantum Leap slide, where you can drive at speeds over 100 km/h.
