すでに触れられておりますようにソチオリンピックの話題になります。
stake in に着目しました。「刺すもの」が原義のstakeには様々な定義がございますが文中では第七語義の「[・・・への]利害関係；関心[in]」（『ジーニアス英和辞典 第3版』大修館）となります。最後にUmeさんが以前別語義のstakeを取り上げられておりますので此方も併せてご参照頂ければと思います。(cf. stake - 田邉祐司ゼミ 常時英心：言葉の森から)（Shou-VR*）
Russia plans glitzy Winter Olympics opening ceremony to sway skeptical world
SOCHI —Russia on Friday officially opens its first ever Winter Olympics with a ceremony attended by dozens of heads of state and aimed at impressing a skeptical world with an unforgettable spectacle.
With a hard act to follow after show-stopping Summer Olympics opening ceremonies in 2008 in Beijing and 2012 in London, Russia is expected to pull out all the stops to give the world a night to remember.
Security concerns intensified as the United States announced a temporary ban on liquids and gels in hand luggage on Russia-bound flights, following a warning that militants could stuff explosives into toothpaste.
But President Barack Obama said Moscow has an “enormous stake” in thwarting terror at the Games and Secretary of State John Kerry said if his own daughter wanted to attend Sochi, “I’d say go”.
