Dina Kobolenko, the woman manning the tourist information stand near the Sochi train station, says that as of two days before the Games, she’d seen only a single foreigner – a South Korean. They couldn’t understand each other, though, so had to communicate with hand gestures.

American athletes in Russia for the games have echoed Kobolenko claims saying they only spotted Russians milling about the complex.
