What we can expect from Sochi


Best known as a rugby presenter, Scotty Stevenson will be joining Hayley Holt in guiding Kiwis through the 2014 Winter Olympic Games coverage from Sochi on Sky Sport and Prime over the next few weeks. James Croot quizzed him on what we can expect.

What event are you most looking forward to seeing at Sochi
I’ll be based in the coastal cluster while my colleague Hayley Holt will be in the alpine village, so from my point of view I am looking forward to some great ice hockey and some figure skating. Yes, seriously, figure skating.

Which athlete would you most like to grab an interview with
Dutch speed skater Sjinkie Knegt. I think we need to discuss the bird and its ramifications at important sporting events. It’ll be hard though, I can’t pronounce his name.

What do you think will be the unique aspects of these games
Sochi’s in the sub-tropics. I think snow would be a good start.
