im abit iffy on supplying my passport info at the moment…
LOL why??
Oh and what are you guys putting as your preference? I would have love to have done sport. But you have to be there early or something… maybe extra training?
So I did 1st - Events, 2nd Village Management, Third Ceremonies.
I haven’t hit submit yet - so can change it if you guys think something else looks ‘cooler’

umm cause i like my identity to not be stolen.
Who from the Sochi Planning Committee? I doubt it. But maybe I am too trusting.
They will need it to do the background checks so i don’t think you can submit without it?
Vladimir Putin wants my identity! i can feel it in me bones!
Ah yes especially if you use you avatar as the picture for your application.
Do you think I should dye my hair blonde??

I put Events, Village Management, Technology. (if they want someone for tech, it might be easier for me…)
The hard part is trying to submit though…
You get this: Your application form has been saved. Not all of the required fields have been completed.
Even though you have ENGLISH as your language!
Ok, you have to add Russian to be able to submit.
I put basic - I.E. I can say Hello (Privet)
Ah i was wondering what you meant when you said the langauge bit was hard….
Hmmmm - i don’t have a picture so I haven’t tried to submit.
Maybe we do need to speak some Russian?
It does say that on the overall volunteer requirements….
Maybe we just say basic and then lets go do a russian language course if we get accepted! LOL
Ok yep will put that then.
thats my plan
Just upload this for your picture:
Yes that’ll help with the background check!
i put event services, ceremonies and sport
EDIT: i have submitted mine.
I was thinking sport but they said you have to know how to ski in that one… and if that excludes snowboarding, then I don’t want any part. Ceremonies I would think would be good but may also involve you missing all the good stuff.
