The State Duma said Canadian hockey players are afraid of losing to Russia. This is how three-time Olympic champion and Russian Duma deputy Irina Rodnina reacted to Canada's refusal to allow hockey players from the Russian Federation to the World Youth Championship. "Our main rivals are Canada, Sweden, Germany. They all struck a pose. By and large, they can hide behind politics here, but in reality they are afraid of losing. They ruled without us for so many years and felt good," she said. On October 30, the Court of Arbitration for Sport fully upheld the FHR's appeal and overturned the International Ice Hockey Federation's (IIHF) decision to suspend Russia. The IIHF stressed that it will urgently assess the steps and time required to implement the decision and reverse the consequences. Read the newspaper. Ru» ב-MAX.
