The festival, dedicated to the 8th anniversary of the XXII Olympic and XI Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi, will be held at the Rosa Khutor resort from February 4 to 20, during the XXIV Olympic Winter Games in Beijing.
Rosa Khutor is a prime example of the effective legacy of the Sochi Olympics.
It was here, on the slopes of the resort, that in February 2014 the largest number of awards were played - 30 sets of Olympic medals in 15 sports disciplines - skiing, snowboarding, freestyle, as well as 32 out of 76 sets of Paralympic medals. For the first time in the history of the Olympic Games, all competitions in alpine skiing, freestyle and snowboarding took place at the same venue.
In the post-Olympic period, Rosa Khutor continues to host major Russian and international competitions, including the resort hosting the Russian stage of the FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup for women. The strongest skiers in the world met at the resort for the competition in the super-g discipline.Rosa Khutor Fan Fest will start with the broadcast of the official opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Olympics, which will be shown on February 4 on the main screen of the central square of the resort in Rosa Valley. Then there will be interactive entertainment programs "History of the Winter Olympics" and "Hurrah, the Olympics."
The burgomaster of the resort, the famous actor and musician Nikolay Fomenko, decided to support Rosa Khutor Fan Fest: “I am glad to take part in such a grandiose marathon of events and various activities, which was invented at Rosa Khutor in honor of the Olympic Games.
I think this is a great way not only to remember the taste of the glorious victories won on these slopes, but also to show that the energy of a real sports festival still reigns here. We are faithful to the Olympic ideals - friendship, perfection, respect - these are the values that guide the resort, welcoming guests year after year in any season.
During the entire Rosa Khutor Fan Fest, from February 4 to 20, the resort will broadcast the competitions of the XXIV Olympic Winter Games. Its main venues will be Roza Dolina and the Mountain Olympic Village.
Each day of the festival will be devoted to a specific theme, for example, February 5 - Olympic Energy Day, February 6 - Olympic Dignity Day, February 7 - Olympic Spirit Day and so on. The events planned on these days will reflect the relevant theme. Various sports, music, dance show programs and intellectual tournaments will be held within the framework of the festival. It is also planned to hold flash mobs in support of Russian athletes.
