Fisht The Olympic Stadium is the scene of the first official act of the twenty-second Winter Olympics in Sochi, the opening ceremony, which begins at 20.14 (in consonance with the current year), local time 17.14 hours Italian . It begins with the overview of the letters of the Russian alphabet, each associated with an event or a character in the history of Russia. A 11 year old girl who has dreamed of these letters and these facts and figures is raised from the ground by a kite and sees ideally pass all the landscapes of this vast nation. Following the Russian anthem with dozens of people lit up in blue, red and white, the colors of the Russian flag.
It 's the time of the parade of the 87 participating nations, plus 3 Indian athletes who compete under the banner of the CIO, the nation's first runway is traditionally Greece, the last, as traditionally, Russia is the hostess. Italy is the thirty-second to enter the stadium at 20.49, 17.49 ours, with our bishop Armin Zöggeler, beautiful choreography from the athletes parading in the middle of the image of their country as if it were from the satellite. Come the Games mascot, a leopard on a snowboard, a teddy bear on skates and a ski bunny.
