    This could add a new twist to the biathlon.

    Seriously though, this is a potentially dangerous area to host an event like the Olympics. It'll be interesting to see how things develop over the next 4 years.

    I see some major military action against the Chechens within the next four years.

    It's not just the Chechens. The article mentions four Islamic insurgencies going on against the Russians in the immediate region. They're anti Western and anti Russian, this is going to be a security and logistics nightmare for any and all involved in the games.
