President Vladimir Putin said that Russia was ready to host the 2014 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games and that Sochi was the best choice for the games. Moreover, President Putin emphasised that, no matter what decision the International Olympic Committee had made, Sochi's application had already been useful.
