Swedish hockey player Hasson says she was forced to drink vodka at a Russian club
Swedish hockey player Kim Hasson spoke about life in Russia while playing for the Tornado club near Moscow. Her words are quoted by Expressen.
“We were forced to drink vodka with the director of the club. There was a lot of alcohol, and it was considered an insult to refuse it. Sometimes I drank, and sometimes I just pretended and secretly poured out, ”said the athlete. She described her time with the team as an unusual, but good, from a hockey point of view, year.
Hasson is a bronze medalist at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games and a silver medalist at the 2006 Olympics in Turin. In the 2011/2012 season, she played as part of the Tornado Dmitrov club and, together with the team, became the champion of Russia.
On November 3, Canadian hockey player of the Continental Hockey League club “Vityaz” Scott Wilson described life in Russia with the phrase “a breath of fresh air.” He stated that he consulted with acquaintances playing in Russia before moving to the country. “They said that it’s cool here, hockey is great, and if you live in Moscow, it’s generally great. I kept waiting for someone to say that he didn’t like it here, but no one said, ”added the Canadian.
