Athletistic/Hockey. Over the past year and a half, the Russian national hockey team has not participated in international competitions. In this regard, the Belarusian national team, also under sanctions, has become its frequent rival. In particular, today, December 16, the Russians beat the Belarusians with a score of 5:3. The head coach of the Russian national team, Roman Rotenberg, spoke about the importance of such matches.
– Belarus plays modern hockey, they are a very fast team. It’s very important for us to have the opportunity to play against such a strong opponent. “We are preparing to return to the World Championships and the Olympics,” Rotenberg said on “Championship.”
Recall that at the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games, the Russian team won silver, losing to the Finnish team in the final (1: 2).
