Intro:
International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach criticised world leaders for politicising the Olympic Games as Russian President Vladimir Putin welcomed delegates to Sochi on Tuesday (4 February).
Script:
SOUNDBITE (English) Thomas Bach, International Olympic Committee (IOC) President:
"People have a very good understanding of what it really means to single out the Olympic Games to make an ostentatious gesture, which allegedly costs nothing, but produces international headlines. In the extreme, we had to see a few politicians whose contribution to the fight for a good cause consisted of publicly declining invitations they had not even received."
