Moscow region officials have said they could host the 2014 Olympic bobsleigh and luge events if the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi cannot build the track on time.

"If the situation with Sochi becomes difficult, we are ready to help," the head of the Dmitrov region Valery Gavrilov told a news conference at the conclusion of a junior World Cup luge event in the town of Paramonovo this week.

While Russian officials say the construction of all 2014 venues are on schedule and IOC president Jacques Rogge told reporters during his visit to Moscow in October he was happy with Sochi's progress, the bobsleigh and luge track has given local organisers a major headache.

Sochi needs to build most of the venues and infrastructure from scratch, but Gavrilov said his town had a world-class facility ready to host major international events.

He said moving Olympic bobsleigh and luge events to Paramonovo, a small town about 30km north of Moscow, would also make sense from the economic point of view.

"Our track cost $50 million while Sochi's track would cost almost three times that much," he said.

Spokesman for the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) Gennady Shvets said there were no plans to move any events from Sochi.

"A master plan calls for all sporting events of the 2014 Games to be held in Sochi but it's always a good idea to have a back-up site, just in case," Shvets said.
