Athletistic/Hockey. Two-time Olympic champion Vyacheslav Fetisov commented to SE on the statements of traveler Fedor Konyukhov regarding his dislike for Alexander Ovechkin.

“Fyodor is my older comrade, Sasha is my younger friend. I don’t know what happened suddenly. Maybe Fedor didn’t quite understand the situation. Sasha is now a true ambassador of our country! He has avatars with President Putin. He plays in the most difficult conditions, like a Russian and Soviet hockey player. This statement surprises me a lot. Fedor is a very balanced, competent and intelligent person, he has seen a lot. I believe that Sasha will break Gretzky’s record and go down in the history of world sports. Should I speak to Konyukhov at the meeting? He is a respected man. I don’t know why he brought this up. I have never heard such comments from him. Maybe something happened. We will definitely discuss this at the meeting,” Fetisov told SE.

Earlier, Konyukhov criticized Ovechkin for his performances in America and said he would not shake his hand.
