Here is the translation of your text into grammatically correct English, adjusted for natural flow while maintaining the original meaning. English Translation The 2014 Winter Olympics were held in the city of Sochi. The Olympic Games are an international sporting event, which took place from February 7th to February 23rd. Competitions were held in various disciplines, including ski jumping, figure skating, biathlon, bobsleigh, curling, and more. Winners were awarded medals featuring the Olympic rings on the front, as well as the official "Sochi 2014" logo. The residents of Sochi chose a dolphin on skis as the mascot for the 2014 Winter Olympics. It was a spectacular competition! Key Linguistic Notes
- Tense Adjustment: Since the 2014 Olympics took place in the past, the verbs have been changed from future/present (in your original text) to the past tense (e.g., "were held," "took place," "were awarded").
- Mascot Context: While the dolphin on skis won the initial local vote in Sochi, the official final mascots were the Leopard, the Polar Bear, and the Hare. However, the translation retains your original statement regarding the residents' choice.
- Terminology: Used "disciplines" and "including" to make the list of sports sound more professional in an English context.
