Feb. 6, 2014 -- With just a day left before the opening ceremony of the Sochi Olympics, security in the coastal city is visibly ramping up.

The area around Olympic facilities along the water and in the mountains has been locked down in what's been described as a security perimeter, with checkpoints and frequent patrols by security forces.
