Final training session for the ROC men's team ahead of the 2022 Olympic Games

The ROC men's ice hockey team participated in the concluding training session ahead of the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing, China.

The tournament will begin tomorrow at 11:40 Moscow time against Switzerland.

ROC manager Ilya Kovalchuk:

- We're all looking forward to the tournament, I think that all of our players are full of motivation for the competition. Defenseman Alexander Nikishin and forward Arseniy Gritsyuk are here despite their young age? Luck wasn't involved at all, they both deserve to be here. It means a lot for them to participate at the Olympics despite their youth. I am satisfied with our training camps in Novogorsk and Beijing, everyone is healthy and ready to compete. That is the main thing.
