Mascots

To create mascots for the Sochi Olympics nationwide competition was announced. Three winners were selected during the live vote, part of the "Talismania. Sochi 2014. Finals" show and became official Olympic mascots. The leopard, polar bear and hare are mascots of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi. They were chosen from 11 options by popular vote in 2011.

Volunteers

The Sochi 2014 Volunteer Team is comprised of 23,000 Russians, drawn from 26 volunteer centres based at educational institutions across the country, with another 2,000 coming from outside the country. The United States will provide the largest contingent of foreign volunteers with 10 per cent, followed by nine per cent from neighbouring Ukraine, with Canada, the United Kingdom and Kazakhstan providing eight per cent. The average age of the volunteers is 25 with 60 per cent male and 40 per cent female. Around 928 of the volunteers are classed as being in the "silver-age group", say organisers, with an average age of 62, with 16 per cent of these being from foreign countries. Sochi provides 24 per cent of the volunteers, mostly drawn from the Krosnador region that surrounds the city, while large numbers of volunteers have also been drawn from Moscow, St Petersburg and the Rostov region.
