Award Ceremony at the Olympic Games in Sochi
In Sochi, the Olympic champions are awarded on a special area every day at 20 hours 14 minutes.
The Olympic Games in Sochi are rich in innovations,who even touched upon the ceremony of awarding the winners. Now the medals are awarded once a day - to the center of the Olympic Park. There they set up a special area for rewarding and celebrating. The time chosen for the start of the award is symbolic: every day athletes climb to the podium at 20 hours 14 minutes. As a rule, medals are awarded to the winners on the evening of the day of the competition or the next day. The whole ceremony is very solemn and is accompanied by an evening musical concert, which popular pop stars perform. Anyone can attend the concert. During the award ceremony, the winners and prize winners will be awarded Olympic medals and flower bouquets. And the ceremony ends with the raising of the national flag and the performance of the country's national anthem. The bouquets that are presented at the ceremonies consist of solidago, chrysanthemum, laurel and eucalyptus. Thus, the yellow color of the solidago symbolizes the wealth of the Krasnodar Territory; green and white color of chrysanthemums - Black Sea coast; laurel is a symbol of victory; and eucalyptus means the city of Sochi (this plant appeared right here).
