According to the press service of the OCD, the head of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC), Alexander Zhukov, has said the information that Sochi is to apply to host the Summer Olympics in 2024 is premature.
"The information is at least premature," Interfax cites Zhukov.
"Just every sporting event that takes place in Russia is very successful. Now everyone is satisfied with the World Cup in water sports, many people ask: "Will Kazan continue to hold these events?" It will. But it is too early to say that Sochi will apply for the Summer Olympics in 2024. I have often noted that there are many cities in Russia that can apply to host international sporting events: St. Petersburg, Moscow, Sochi and Kazan,’’ the president of the ROC said.
