Lots of reasons to worry about Sochi beyond that imo. I am not sure why it wasn't mentioned at the Vancouver Games when everyone was saying the Games shouldn't have been handed to a place where it is so warm, but it is much warmer in Sochi. Their climate is sub tropical.

Unseasonably warm weather which we saw in Vancouver is 14 degrees, but in Sochi unseasonably warm weather can be in the 20s. The record high for February is around 24 degrees iirc. I am not sure how warm it would be at higher elevations, but the mountains are closer to Sochi than Whistler is to Vancouver.
