Forward “Avant-garde ” and Russian team Arseniy Gritsyuk in an interview with , he recalled the key episode of the semi-final with the Swedes at the Beijing Olympics.
Gritsyuk as part of the Russian team won the silver medal of the 2022 Games. In the semifinals, the Russians beat the Swedes (2:1 B), the decisive ball was transformed by Arseniy. In the final, Russia lost to Finland.
– Have you seen your shooting at the Olympics?
“Five hundred thousand million times.” I even cut it to music and posted it on social media. Because she’s on the edge of her emotions. It’s both media, and just to keep me in mind.
– Can you describe in detail what you were thinking before the semi-final shootout?
– Alexei Yuryevich Zhamnov told me: “Gritz, go try.” I did not expect to be released. Until the last moment, he waited for us to win. Vanka Fedotov played very well there, well done.
We then beat the second, after the Swedes. It turned out that my ball could solve everything. I thought: they gave me a chance, I score – we won, I don’t score – we continue. There was no pressure like on Yegor Yakovlev, who had to score, otherwise we would have lost. It is not in vain that Yakovlev is said to have nerves of steel.
I had my own thing about shootouts, which I coached a lot in the KHL. When Goose was shooting balls, I watched their keeper Johansson, what he was doing. He threw and the puck hit the post. It was lucky she had bounced in the door, and not back.
