Illustrious Ambassadors for Sochi 2014
Sochi 2014’s Ambassadors’ programme reads almost like the “Who’s Who” in Russian sport and culture.
At the top of the list is the national hockey team, with charismatic head coach Vyacheslav Bykov. Bykov is thrilled to be a Sochi 2014 Ambassador: "It is a tremendous honour for the Russian ice hockey team to become Sochi 2014 Ambassadors. The entire team are hugely excited about Russia’s first Winter Games – not only because it will be an incredible and innovative event, but also because its world-class ice hockey facilities will help ensure that Russia remains at the forefront of the sport for many years to come.”
