The head of the Czech Foreign Ministry called Russian hockey players "manly girls".
Personally, I think hockey is a man's sport. I am afraid that I will not please our respected feminists if I say that this time the championship will be completely complete without the participation of a team of Russian male girls.
- said Piotr Makinka.
In turn, the president of the Czech Hockey Federation, Eloise Gadmčík, said that Tsinka meant no harm.
