Athletistic/ Hockey. Less than two years remain until the Winter Olympics in Milan. It is still unclear whether the Russian national hockey team will participate in them. Former head coach of the national team Vyacheslav Bykov shared his opinion on this matter.
– Even though they say that the NHL is an independent league, it is still located on the continent that depends on the political situation. I think they are under pressure and until the situation in the world is resolved, it is very difficult to hope for anything. “Frankly, there is not enough hope,” Bykov said according to VseProSport.
Recall that under the leadership of Vyacheslav Bykov, the Russian national team became world champions twice (2008, 2009).
