ʻOiai i ka hoʻoilo, hoʻokipa ke kūlanakauhale Lūkini o Sochi i nā malihini me kāna mau māla pua a me nā lāʻau pāma.
Ua kaulana ka hale hoʻokipa ʻo Black Sea i nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi no nā makahiki he nui, me kona mau kahakai lōʻihi a me ka lā wela.
Akā ma 2014 e hōʻike ʻo Sochi i kahi helehelena ʻē aʻe i ka honua.
Manaʻo nā poʻe malihini i nā Pāʻani ʻOlumepika hoʻoilo e hiki mai ana i ka hau a me ka hau a e hōʻoiaʻiʻo nā luna o Rūsia iā lākou.
I ka hoʻoilo, ʻike ʻia ʻo Sochi me ka leʻaleʻa a mālie. ʻO nā hōkele o ka wā Soviet he hapa ʻole a ʻo ka hapa nui o nā mea hoʻomaha he poʻe ʻelemakule.
ʻO ka poʻe Lūkini e hauʻoli nei i ka ski e hele mai i kahi wahi hoʻoilo liʻiliʻi ma 50 mau kilomita ma nā mauna Caucasus kokoke.
Akā, e hoʻololi nā mea i mea e hoʻolilo ai iā Sochi i wahi kūpono o ka 2014 Winter Olympics.
Hoʻonui kālā
ʻO ka hoʻokohu ʻOlumepika o Rūsia he moʻolelo nona iho. Ua hoʻohiki ka ʻāina e hoʻolilo ma mua o $ 11bn (£ 7.4bn) i kāna hoʻomākaukau ʻana no nā pāʻani.
ʻO 20% wale nō o ia kālā no nā wahi haʻuki a me ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i nā hanana, aʻo ke koena e hoʻomohala i ka ʻoihana Sochi.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ke kuhina nui ʻo Anatoly Pakhomov, ʻaʻole loa e loaʻa ʻo Sochi i kēlā nui o ke kālā me ka ʻole o ka 'Olumepika.
"I loko o ʻekolu mau makahiki e hana mākou e like me kā mākou e hana mau ai i hoʻokahi kenekulia," wahi āna.
ʻAʻohe mea kupanaha e like me Sochi i kēia lā he kahua kūkulu nui.
Ke kūkulu ʻia nei nā alanui a me nā hui hou a ma mua o ka makahiki 2014 e loaʻa i ke kūlanakauhale kahi ʻōnaehana wai hou, nā kikowaena uila a me kahi awa ukana.
ʻO ka 'Olumepika ka mea e hoʻololi i ke ola akā ʻaʻole manaʻo ka poʻe āpau i ka hoʻololi ʻana no ka maikaʻi.
He mau haneli hale i luku ʻia a hoʻoneʻe ʻia nā kānaka e hana i ke ala no ka paka ʻOlumepika hou.
Ua hoʻololi ʻia nā kahakai kaulana i awa ukana a ʻo ka poʻe nona nā hōkele pilikino ma kahakai ua nalowale ko lākou ola.
Eia kekahi, hoʻoneʻe nā kahua kūkulu i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi a ua hopena i ka loaʻa kālā haʻahaʻa no nā ʻoihana kūloko.
ʻO ka ʻāpana pipiʻi loa o ka ʻoihana he ala kaʻa holo kiʻekiʻe hou e lawe ai i nā mākaʻikaʻi i ka paka ʻOlumepika e hiki mai ana ma nā ʻāina haʻahaʻa a i ka pali ʻOlumepika ma nā mauna.
ʻOi aku ka nui o ke alanui ma mua o 20km o nā tunnels a me nā alahaka a he $7.5bn ke kumukūʻai.
ʻAʻole i hoʻokomo ʻia kēlā kālā i loko o ka waihona kālā ʻOlumepika - e uku ke aupuni no ka mea e ʻōlelo ana he mea koʻikoʻi ke alanui no ka hoʻomohala ʻana o Sochi e hiki mai ana.
Hockey hau ʻole
ʻO ka mea kupanaha, ʻaʻole i loaʻa iā Sochi kahi hau hau no ka hockey a i ʻole ka hoʻokele kiʻi.
ʻO Sochi Dolphins, ʻo ia wale nō ka hui hockey junior, ʻaʻohe koho akā e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i loko o kahi hale haʻuki liʻiliʻi i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi no ka pôpeku i loko.
ʻAʻole makemake nui nā kamaʻāina i nā haʻuki hoʻoilo, wahi a ke kumu aʻoaʻo Andrey Zhartovskiy.
No ia a me kāna mau mea pāʻani ʻōpio, ʻo kahi kahua hockey hau hou ma kahi o 40km wale nō mai ke kikowaena o ke kaona me he mea lā he moeʻuhane.
Akā ʻo Mr Zhartovskiy me he mea lā ʻaʻole maopopo e pili ana i ke kūkulu ʻia ʻana o ka 'Olumepika.
"He paradox ia," wahi āna. "Ua mālama ʻia nā ʻOlumepika ma mua ma kahi i loaʻa ma kahi liʻiliʻi o nā wahi e kū nei, ʻoiai ʻo Sochi hoʻokahi wale nō kahua pāʻani kauwela a ʻaʻohe mea ʻē aʻe."
Nā hale hoʻokipa kai a me ka hau
ʻO ka hoʻolālā nui a nā luna Lūkini e hana iā Sochi i kahi hoʻokele ski honua.
Ma hope o ka 'Olumepika, ua mana'o'ia e ho'okomo i ka po'e māka'ika'i mai Rusia wale nō, akā, mai nā wahi a puni o ka honua.
Ke kūkulu ʻia nei nā pistes ʻOlumepika e hiki mai ana a pono e mālama ʻia nā hoʻokūkū honua mua i kēia makahiki aʻe.
I hoʻokahi makahiki i hala aku nei ua uhi ʻia ka wahi ski i ka ululāʻau, ʻoiai ʻo ka wahi no ka paka ʻOlumepika he mau hale kūʻokoʻa me nā māla meaʻai.
ʻO nā haneli o nā limahana e hana a puni ka uaki e hōʻoia i ka pau ʻana o nā mea āpau ma ka papa manawa.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ka luna kūkulu hale ʻo Murat Akhmadiyev i ka wā e hiki mai ana ma hope o ka Olimpika.
"E hoʻoili ʻia ia e nā hanauna e hiki mai ana a lilo i kumu no ke kūlanakauhale hou," wahi āna.
Ma hope o nā pāʻani, e hoʻololi ʻia ka Pāka 'Olumepika i wahi hoʻokipa, aʻo nā kahua haʻuki e lilo i mau kikowaena kūkā a me nā hale kūʻai.
ʻEkolu mau kahua pāʻani e wehe ʻia a hoʻoneʻe ʻia i nā kūlanakauhale ʻē aʻe o Rūsia ʻoi aku ka anuanu, no ka mea, ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kumukūʻai no ke kākoʻo ʻana i kekahi mau wahi hoʻoilo ma ke anuanu o Sochi.
Kumukuai no ka lawelawe
Pono nā malihini ma ka 'Olumepika ho'oilo o ka makahiki 2014 e 'ike i kahi Sochi hou a'e.
Akā ʻoi aku ma mua o ke kūkulu ʻana a me ka hana hou ʻana, pono ʻo Sochi i kahi kipi i ka manaʻo o nā kānaka.
ʻAʻole ʻoluʻolu ka poʻe kipa i ka ʻOlumepika i ka pae o ka lawelawe i kēia manawa i loaʻa ma nā hōkele o Sochi.
Aia ka manaʻo Soviet kahiko ma ʻaneʻi - me ka nele o nā helehelena aloha.
He liʻiliʻi loa ka ʻōlelo Pelekania ma Sochi, a ʻo Lūkia kekahi manawa i pilikia no ka nui o nā kaʻa kaʻa e hoʻokele ʻia e nā malihini mai Abkhazia e pili ana.
ʻAʻole like me ka hapa nui o ka waihona kālā, ʻaneʻane hiki ʻole ke helu i ke kumukūʻai e uku ʻia no kēia mau loli kaiapili.
A ʻo ia kahi mea i ʻike ʻole ʻia e nā luna Lūkini.
He mea hoihoi mau ka ʻike ʻana i nā mea pāʻani Lacrosse kiʻekiʻe me ka
mea hou lako lacrosse.
