IOC Hails Sochi Olympics a 'Great Success' So Far

SOCHI, February 11 (R-Sport) - The International Olympic Committee has hailed the Sochi Winter Games as "a great success" so far.

“We are now four days into the Games and are very satisfied with the way they are unfolding,” said President Thomas Bach in an IOC statement.

“In light of the great success so far, I have decided to cancel the regular coordination meetings between the IOC and Sochi 2014 until further notice.”

Some criticism of infrastructure preparation at the Black Sea resort on the part of Games organizers has faded as attention has turned to the sporting action, which has won near-universal praise for its excitement.
