Athletistic/Hockey. Two-time Olympic champion Alexander Kozhevnikov spoke about the growth of New York Rangers Russian forward Artemy Panarin.

“For me, the main discovery is Artemy Panarin. I watched his great interview on the Internet and was very pleasantly surprised. Artemy is simply handsome.

In two or three years, Panarin went from a laughing and omniscient narcissist to an interesting and profound person. Artemy began spending every summer in the Russian hinterland and this took its toll. Panarin felt the energy of Russia and matured strongly,” Kozhevnikov told Russia-Hockey.ru.
