An Olympic venue in the Russian city of Sochi has been checked by the country's top officials in an atmosphere of sun, skis and hard rock. Russia's president and Prime Minister paid a visit to the European Ski Cup being held this week. The two were satisfied with the track and the soundtrack for the event, featuring a hard rock classic by Dmitry Medvedev's favourite band, Deep Purple. The pair decided themselves to check out the slope that will see Olympic competitions in full swing in three years time.
