The Swedish edition of Aftonbladet on its website reported on the preparation of the Russian team before the semifinal match of the hockey tournament at the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing.
The journalists said that at the warm-up 40 minutes before the start of the meeting, the Russian hockey players lined up with the whole squad and looked at the opponent. They called this rite strange and tuned to demoralize the opponent. In addition, the Swedish media drew attention to the fact that defender Sergei Telegin did not want to leave the penultimate warm-up, waiting for a long time for the Swedish opponent to do so.
On February 18, the Russian national ice hockey team defeated Sweden in the semifinal match of the Olympic tournament. The meeting ended in a shootout with a score of 2:1.
In the final match, the Russian team will meet with the Finnish team. The meeting will be held on February 20 and will begin at 7:10 Moscow time.
