Russia should hold as many major sports forums as possible, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Saturday.
Russia launched a bid to host the FIFA World Cup in 2018 and we have “every reason to expect a positive decision,” Putin said.
He also suggested holding International Winter Student Games in Sochi in 2017. The premier said that Sochi will be able to host “any sports competitions at the highest level” after the Winter Olympics in 2014.
Putin said the organization of such competitions will not require serious expenditures.
