During the Olympic and Paralympic Games the research team interviewed spectators at the Olympic Park, Rosa Hutor mountain cluster, hotels, and transport. The survey was 25 questions long and took on average 5 minutes to complete. 65% of the survey participants discussed and explained their answers and impressions with the interviewer longer than 15 minutes. During two days of the Olympic Games and three days of the Paralympic Games 200 surveys were completed. In addition to the formal survey informal interviews were held with the same respondents. The primary results were analyzed using statistic software to validate the reliability of the data.
