Kaspiysk is located in Dagestan. The Dagestan region submitted a bid to the Russian Olympic Committee in December 2011, seeking their endorsement in submitting the bid to the IOC. [1] The Russian Olympic Committee gave the bid its support shortly after they received the bid. [2] [3]The needed venues would need to be built since the area lacks the needed venues. In December 2011 it was determined that Kaspiysk would be the city where the games are staged if the bid is successful. [4]
