SOCHI Cheap Muhammad Wilkerson Jersey , Feb. 23 (Xinhua) -- Russia has delivered on the promise of a "spectacular event" as the most expensive Olympics in history closed on Sunday night with doubts over the country's capabilities cleared and the host team basking in athletic achievements.


In a fitting end to the Sochi Winter Games, Alexander Legkov led Russia's podium sweep at the men's 50km cross country skiing and the host four-man bobsled team won a second gold, consolidating Russia's top place on the medal table - an ending few would have imagined after it finished only 11th in the 2010 Games.

"Whether you speak with the athletes, national Olympic committee Cheap Jimmy Graham Jersey , international federations, sponsors or broadcasters you hear a lot of praise for these Games," he said.

Russia Cheap Tramon Williams Jersey , according to Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak, has fulfilled every pledge made by President Vladimir Putin when he successfully bid for the Olympics in 2007 and promised a "really spectacular event".
