On 27th January the Head of Lithuanian Olympic Mission Vida Vencienė had arrived in Sochi. On the same day they had passed a mandatory commission in the organization committee of the Games. Accreditation was passing through smooth and nine Lithuanian athletes were accredited. It is the largest Lithuanian delegation the country has ever sent to winter Olympics.

Our athletes will live in the three Olympic villages. Ice skaters will stay in the one at the bottom - our ice dancers' couple Isabella Tobias and Deividas Stagniūnas and a short track speed skater Agnė Sereikaitė. In a second village located in the mountains will stay: biathletes Diana Rasimovičiūtė and Tomas Kaukėnas and cross-country skiers Ingrida Ardišauskaitė and Vytautas Strolia. In the third one - the highest one - will stay alpine skiers Ieva Januškevičiūtė and Rokas Zaveckas.

The opening of the Games will be held on 7th of February and on the 8th of February first athletes will start their 'battles' for an Olympic victory: a biathlete T. Kaukėnas (10 km sprint) and a skier I.Ardišauskaitė (7.5 km classical style + 7.5 km skater style).

What is interesting, Vida Vencienė announced, that in Sochi at noon on January 28th there were 17 degrees Celsius and only high in the mountains there was exactly zero.
