The IOC held a fruitful meeting today in Lausanne with senior representatives from the Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa (ANOCA), the Libyan Sports Ministry and the Libyan NOC.

The eye-catching Iceberg Skating Palace will provide a "beautiful" venue for figure skating and short track speed skating during the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, according to some of the athletes who will be competing there. The 12,000-seat venue hosted the ISU Figure Skating Grand Prix Final in December 2012 and the ISU Short Track World Cup in February 2013, with competitors at both events praising the new facility.
