Construction in Sochi is very much on track to be finished in time for the 2018 Winter Olympics, Russias head of Olympic planning said today. Ive been accused of being overly optimistic, but I really think were going to make that 2018 deadline, the official, Dmitri Brilosky, said. Fingers crossed. Mr. Brilosky pointed with pride at the progress his team had made in constructing bathrooms at the site. Weve finished installing the surveillance cameras, he said. Now were getting ready to put in the toilets. The Russian official was more guarded when asked by a foreign reporter if all the elevator shafts would have elevators in them by 2018. Ill have to check on that, he said. That might be cutting it close.
