It has been a fortnight of high expectations, hilarious Russian toilet issues and controversial political uprisings but still, Sochi 2014 has been a somewhat, surprising success. Unless you’re from Kazakhstan that is. Jagshemash!

Still, accepted financial abjection aside the unquestioned precedent has served up a familiar cocktail: Accusations of bribes, government kickbacks and dubiously matey construction contracts.
