Zhurova suggested that Ovechkin will continue to be attacked in North America
State Duma deputy, Olympic champion in speed skating Svetlana Zhurova spoke about the performance of the Russian Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin in the National Hockey League (NHL). It is reported by “Sport-Express”.
The athlete was surprised by how well the striker plays at 36 years old. “As a person who won his medal at 34, I understand how difficult it is psychologically to get ready and play at such a level every time,” Zhurova added.
At the same time, the skater expressed concern for the future of Ovechkin in the NHL. She suggested that attacks on the Russian could continue in North America. “It will be very difficult for them to link their policy of tolerance with the fact that they have a Russian champion. Moreover, Sasha is the captain, ”said Zhurova.
Earlier, on March 19, Ovechkin became the author of an abandoned puck in a regular season match against the Carolina Hurricanes (4: 3). The hockey player set a new NHL record for points among players playing in the left winger position. He scored 1395th point in the regular season.
