Russia Adds Domain Name To Olympic Emblem
December 8, No Comments - Author: Simon Johnson
This is the first time a domain name has been part of an Olympic host city’s emblem.
The word “sochi.ru” appears above the number “2014″ in an apparent reflection, symbolizing the southern city’s water-based location on the Black Sea.
“It’s very appealing. It’s very creative, innovative,” International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge said at Tuesday’s unveiling. “I think it will appeal especially to the young population.”
It’s been reported that the IOC president then asked someone what a “domain name” was. 
For those that believe there could be an opportunity – the .com, .net and .org is taken… as is the .ru.
