Crossword Genius

Hence, Greek character is found in Olympic city (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sochi

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'found in olympic city' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'hence greek character' is the wordplay.
'hence' becomes 'so'.
'greek character' becomes 'chi' (letter from the Greek alphabet).
'so'+'chi'='SOCHI'

'is' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for sochi that I've seen is " Winter Olympics venue".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
