Two-time Olympic champion and State Duma deputy Vyacheslav Fetisov talked about playing hockey together with presidents Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko. His words are quoted “Arguments and Facts”.
“They are both great. But the style is different. Lukashenko constantly aims to shoot. In fact, they interact harmoniously on the ice as well as in political life. But in hockey it all depends on who we pass the pass to.
Is Putin in good shape? Yes Perfect. When the game was over, he asked where he got so much strength. “I don’t know,” says Fetisov.
Putin attended Night Hockey League games several times. The games in which the president participates are not held as part of official tournaments, they are exhibitions. He last took to the ice in May 2021. Then the “Legends of Hockey” team defeated the NHL team with a score of 13:9. Putin scored eight goals.
Sambo and judo have a big place among Putin’s sports hobbies. The President of Russia is a master of sports in these disciplines.
