Honored coach of the USSR in figure skating Tatyana Tarasova praised the performance of the Russian national ice hockey team at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. It is reported by Championship.com.
The specialist criticized the players for losing to Finland in the final match. “Now we are not the strongest in the world. Desire is required to win. If it was, they wouldn’t have lost. Too bad we lost. Not just bad, but very bad! You can’t count on such a team, ”added Tarasova.
Russia lost to Finland earlier on Sunday 20 February. The meeting ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of the Finns, who became the winners of the Games for the first time in history.
The Russian national ice hockey team won the Olympics four years ago in Pyeongchang. Both at those and at the current competitions there were no representatives of the National Hockey League (NHL).
