Just enough time left before the opening of the 2014 Winter Olympics. Compared with the previous Olympics in Vancouver at the Games in Sochi, the number of sports and individual competitions in disciplines increased by 12 and the number of sets of medals increased to 98 is absolute record of the White Olympics.

IOC included in the Olympic competitions, nine new disciplines: team competitions in figure skating, ski jumping (women), relay in luge sport, freestyle halfpipe (men's and women's tournaments), mixed relay in biathlon, freestyle slopestyle (men and women) in snowboarding slopestyle (men and women), and parallel slalom in snowboarding (men and women).

What is going to the Olympics in Sochi, the Ukrainian team, which went to the USSR the most powerful sports legacy? Twenty years of an independent Ukrainian state irrevocably destroyed, not only sports infrastructure, led to the complete degradation of the school of Olympic reserve, but also broke the winning tradition in sports, in which Ukrainian Olympians have traditionally been strong. At past Olympics in Vancouver Ukrainian team has not won any medal.

Gold and bronze success of the figure skaters, as well as silver and two bronze medals in the women's biathlon at the Olympics in Lillehammer, Nagano and Turin modern Olympic team of Ukraine will not be able to repeat. No one else can to win. A new sports disciplines Ukrainians did not participate.

Maybe we should instead send athletes to Sochi fantasy characters? For example, a wolf with a hare will send. If they are not medals, exactly the Audience Award wins. However, this does not need to the Ukraine NOC and to the "Ukrposhta". And then it will be a completely different story.
