Kostomarov called the hockey player Ovechkin the chief athlete of Russia
Olympic champion in ice dancing Roman Kostomarov called the chief athlete of Russia. His words are given by Sport24.
Kostomarov made a choice in favor of the striker and captain of the club of the National Hockey League (NHL) Washington Capitals Alexander Ovechkin. “I think the whole country is now looking and is sick that it really becomes a legend of not only Russian hockey, but also the world,” he said.
Ovechkin ranks second in terms of heads (879) in the NHL regular championships. The lag from the leading indicator of Wayne Gretzka is 15 goals. The league suggests that the Russian will beat the Canadian record on April 10, 2025 during the Washington home match with Carolina Hurricanes.
Together with Washington, Ovechkin in 2018 won the Stanley Cup. In addition, the striker is a three -time world champion in the Russian national team (2008, 2012, 2014).
