Sochi 2014: Will the Winter Olympics be safe?

In the last few weeks we've had suicide bombers in Volgograd killing more than 34 people, and Islamic militants promising a "present" to organizers and visitors to Sochi in February.

At least five Olympic committees have received letters in Russian making “a terrorist threat” before the Winter Games, and security forces are hunting a woman suspected of planning a suicide bombing who is believed to already be in Sochi.

For any journalist covering a major event like this, the experience should be about reporting mind-boggling feats of skill and endurance. But Sochi feels different and I’m sure many – be they athletes or journalists – will travel to the Black Sea resort with feelings of trepidation.

There's nothing like the buzz of actually being at major sporting events. I've been lucky enough to be at World Cups, European Championships, Olympics, Champions League finals and tennis grand slams, but never before have I got to the point I am now with the Winter Olympics in Sochi.

I'm not naive enough to think there haven't been threats against these kind of events before. I know there have – the South Africa World Cup in 2010 and the London 2012 Olympics for starters. And unlike a lot of journalists, I've been lucky enough to travel to Sochi twice in the buildup to the Games, and have received nothing but a warm – and safe – welcome.

But as we get ever closer to Sochi, and the threats continue, those feelings of trepidation just won’t go away.

The U.S. State department issued a travel alert earlier this month, calling the Games "an attractive target for terrorists." And the U.S. Olympic Committee has put an emergency exit strategy in place for its team and delegation in case of any incidents. The British also have security measures in place.
