Olympic Games

Two years ago, in 2014, there was one of biggest sport event in the history of our country – Winter Olympic Games in Sochi. Everyone was talking about it. People tried to guess who would be the best in every sport. I remember that I wasn`t very interested in this event. Of course I knew about Adelina Sotnikova and Yulia Lepnizkaya. They were talked by everyone. The became very famous after the Olympics. And today I visited the website https://www.olympic.org/sochi-2014-winter-olympics where i found an interview with Adelina, where she was speaking about her victory.
