We are now well into the second week of the Sochi Winter Olympics...
You might think the Olympic fever is only being felt inside the arenas but you'd be
wrong The party spirit is in full swing... pretty much all over the stunning resort city.
Right. And why don't we now connect to our sports
reporter Song Ji-sun , who's currently in Sochi.
Hello there, Ji-sun
Hi there, guys
Let's go to the clip.
Practically everyone walking around Sochi is decked out in Olympics merchandise or their
team uniform - and those who aren't are lined up at shops.
"I've been waiting to buy clothes there - during 15 minutes. It's cool, I think."
And... even if you weren't lucky enough to get a ticket to the Games, you can still be
part of the Olympic excitement.
"Here at downtown Sochi, the vibe is alive both among domestic and foreign fans who have
gathered here for the Olympics. You can buy souvenirs, watch ongoing Games and cheer for
your favorite athletes here at one of the Lives Sites across the city."
With tickets harder to get each day, the sites have become a place for all to join.
Despite earlier reports that Sochi wasn't fully prepared for the Games, fans are enjoying
every moment... and avid Olympic fans who have been following the Winter Olympics even
before the Sochi Games are already looking ahead to 2018 when the global event will be
held in Pyeongchang.
"So far everything has been fantastic the volunteers have been really helpful whenever
we are getting lost and everything's been well organized."
"So we went to Vancouver in 2010, we've been here right now, in 2018 we are planning to
see the next set of Games."
To these fans, the only pity is that the Olympics last for just a little over two weeks... and
another wait of four years is right around the corner, just as it is for the athletes.
Back to you guys in the studio.
Thank-you, Ji-sun That was our Song Ji-sun reporting from Sochi, the bustling host city
of the 2014 Winter Olympics. And let's get a check now on the latest sporting
action at the Games with our trusty sports reporter, SJ.
