Tatyana Tarasova shamed Fedor Konyukhov for criticizing Alexander Ovechkin
Honored figure skating coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova shamed traveler Fedor Konyukhov for criticizing the Russian forward of the National Hockey League (NHL) Washington Capitals club Alexander Ovechkin. Her words are quoted by Match TV.
According to the specialist, the hockey player is an outstanding athlete. “Aren’t you ashamed to say that? Konyukhov, apparently, does not understand that times have changed, our hockey players play all over the world and glorify our fatherland,” Tarasova said.
The coach added that Ovechkin has been playing in the NHL for 20 years, but is constantly present at events in Russia and helps domestic sports. “Alexander is a man of victory. And Konyukhov needs to think before saying such things,” Tarasova noted.
Konyukhov criticized Ovechkin earlier on June 21. The traveler admitted that he does not respect the hockey player for playing in the USA and will not shake hands with him. “He doesn’t think about Russia, but only about how to earn more money for himself,” Konyukhov said.
