The Russian resort of Sochi has been awarded the 2014 Winter Olympics. The International Olympic Committee made its announcement yesterday in Guatemala. (Guatemala?! - you might well ask.)
South Korea's Pyeongchang was beaten into second place, while Salzburg was eliminated in the first round of voting.
This will be the first time Russia has hosted the Winter Olympics.
Both Pyeongchang and Salzburg lost out to Vancouver in the bid for the 2010 games.
Check out the Sochi 2014 bid website. (Although the site is lacking in info as I write.)
