Most Olympics are in a number of small resorts, usually at the head of a one road in valley. Turin was the classic example, hellish transport difiiculties.
Sochi are trying to put as much as they can within walking/short bus ride distance.

And furrin languages are not hard! :P (Well, other than Greek anyway....)
