Down-the-line.com / Cross-country skiing. Famous Russian skier Alexander Legkov, who became an Olympic champion at the 2014 Games in Sochi, has praised Russian President Vladimir Putin. Legkov said athletes should support the head of state, given all he does for the development of sport.

“I was lucky enough to run in the Olympics at home, to win. It’s sad that I was the last athlete to hear the anthem and see the Russian flag during the award ceremony. I dream that this reproduces itself.

Does Putin like biathlon? I think he likes biathlon, hockey, tennis, figure skating. It does a lot for athletes. I always say that in no other country in the world do athletes receive such support from the state.

The president of the Ice Hockey Federation of the Ryazan region said if they give in to Putin in matches

Putin is the best. He supports sports and athletes, and we have to support him,” Legkov said as quoted by TASS.
