Athletistic/Hockey. Omsk Avangard striker and Russian national team Arseniy Gritsyuk shared his memories of the Olympics semi-final winning shootout.

Gritsyuk scored the winning ball in the game with the Swedish national team and led the Russian team to the final of the Beijing Olympics.

“I watched it five hundred thousand million times. I even cut it to music and did it. Media and memory. Zhamnov told me to try, I didn’t expect that ‘they release him. We beat after the Swedes, my ball could solve everything. But there was no such pressure as on Yakovlev. If he had not scored, they would have been eliminated, but he has nerves of iron.

I have my own thing in shootouts. I followed their guardian. When he quit, he hit the post. It was lucky that the puck bounced into the goal,” Gritsyuk said.
