Winter Olympics 2014: Google Doodle marks the Sochi Games

753 views

The doodle is has a striking and colourful vintage design.


To celebrate the start of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Google has created a multi-coloured, eye-catching doodle.

The doodle features some of the main sporting events that will be taking place, including skiing, snowboarding and curling.

It appears that the retro-themed doodle has been inspired by the design of the Sochi Games' website, where each sport is represented by a different colour and illustration.

The doodle is completed by a quote from the Olympic Charter just below the search bar which embodies the spirit of the Games, the first of which was held in Chamonix, France, in 1924

The Charter reads: 'The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.'

Despite this positive message, there has been much controversy surrounding Russia's human rights' record since Sochi won the bid to host the Winter Olympics. In particular concerns have been raised about the treatment of the country's gay community.

The Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics officially starts today with an opening ceremony at the Fisht Olympic Stadium. It will be running from the 7 -23 February while the Winter Paraly.

    The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practising sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.'
    On the day the the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics (the 22nd Winter Olympics) in Russia begins, Google has posted a fundamental principle of the Olympic Charter on its home page along with a doodle showcasing six Winter Olympics disciplines presented in the colours of rainbow flag / pride flag, that represents gay pride.
    The extract from the Olympic Charter and the doodle is Google's way of protesting against Russian President Vladimir Putin's scarcely veiled campaign against gays and there has also been much discussion on how Russia would deal with gay athletes during the Winter Games.

    The same doodle and the extract has also been posted on Google's Russia home page.
    The Olympic Charter is the codification of the Fundamental Principles of Olympism, rules and bye-laws adopted by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). It governs the organisation, action and operation of the Olympic Movement and sets forth the conditions for the celebration of the Olympic Games.

    Google Doodle flies gay flag for Sochi Olympics Video

    Google marked the Winter Games in Sochi by flying the gay flag Thursday in a search page Doodle that linked to a call for equality in the Olympic Charter.

    Showcasing the flag and the excerpt served as an online rebuttal to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak, who warned spectators and athletes against promoting gay rights during the Olympics, saying it was forbidden by the Olympic Charter and Russian law to spread propaganda during a sporting event.

    Beneath the Rainbow Flag was the following paragraph attributed to the Olympic Charter:

    'The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.'

    Clicking on the Doodle triggered a search for news related to the Olympic Charter, with stories about what was being interpreted as a Google protest of an anti-gay atmosphere caused by officials in the host country of Russia.

    Google declined to comment.

    Amid growing furor over Russia's new law forbidding the dissemination of 'gay propaganda' to minors, Kozak once again argued that there was no discrimination based on sexual orientation in Russia.

    President Barack Obama told US Olympic host broadcaster NBC he had included openly gay athletes in the US Olymp

    Google's latest colorful doodle has marked the Winter Solstice or the first day of winter, which is the shortest day and longest night of the year.

    The special doodle depicts a very colorful woolen mitten being knitted.

    Solstice, which is regarded as the beginning of the winter season, occurs when the northern polar tilt of our planet's polar hemisphere is farthest away from the sun.

    The days will start getting longer for the next six months as the night gets shorter.
