Honorary President of the Russian Olympic Committee Alexander Zhukov said that the biggest disappointment for him at the Sochi Olympics was the defeat of the Russian national hockey team.
At the Olympic Games in Sochi, the Russian team led by Zinetula Bilyaletdinov failed to advance beyond the quarterfinal stage, losing to the Finns with a score of 1:3. After the Games, the specialist left the post of head coach of the Russian team.
— The biggest surprise at the Olympics, of course, was hockey. There are times when you can do it. In 2008, at the centenary in Canada, we won the decisive match against the Canadians, I think they were even more upset,” Zhukov said on the “Gromko” show on .
The Sochi Winter Games took place from February 7 to 23, 2014.
