Sabalenko: the death of Konstantin Koltsov is an unthinkable tragedy
World number two Arina Sabalenka commented for the first time on the death of former hockey player Konstantin Koltsov. The post appeared on her Instagram account (the social network is prohibited in the Russian Federation; belongs to the Meta corporation, which is recognized as extremist in Russia and is banned).
“Kostya’s death is an unimaginable tragedy, and although we were no longer together, my heart is broken,” Sabalenka wrote. She also asked that her privacy and the privacy of the Koltsov family be respected at this difficult moment.
Thus, Sabalenka denied the information that at the time of her death the former hockey player was in a relationship with her.
Koltsov’s death became known in the United States on March 19. The police are considering suicide as one of the versions of what happened.
Koltsov is known for his performance in the NHL for the Pittsburgh Penguins team, in Russia he played for many years for the Ufa Salavat Yulaev, and shortly before his death he left the coaching staff of the team from the capital of Bashkiria.
