“There were very vague emotions, I was very upset.” Shesterkin shared how he reacted to the NHL’s decision not to let players compete in the Olympics

Russian goalkeeper New York Rangers Igor Shesterkin said he felt vague emotions after the National Hockey League’s (NHL) decision not to let the players go to the Beijing Olympics.

In late December, the NHL announced it would not let players travel to the Beijing Olympics due to the large number of regular season games being postponed due to the coronavirus situation. The Beijing Games were held from February 4 to 20. The Russian team won the silver medals of the tournament.

– There were very vague emotions, because that’s what every athlete aspires to. Everyone wants to defend the colors of the national team at the Olympics. When this happened, he was very upset. It doesn’t matter if you already have a gold medal from the Games or not, that was 4 years ago,” Shesterkin said on All for the Match!. on MatchTV.

Shesterkin won gold at the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang with the Russian team.
