Alexander Ovechkin, even on vacation, continues to lead an active lifestyle, and in any game he participates with a huge excitement and the desire to win.

After a few years of constant defeats, the greatest sniper in the history of the NHL took revenge on his friend and immediately boasted an achievement before the subscribers.

“The team of Ovechkin is constantly playing us constantly”

Igor Kobzar is the eminent Russian volleyball player who won silver medals in the Olympic Games in Tokyo in the Russian national team. Also, the binder has repeatedly won the championship of the country and the Champions League.

The acquaintance of Ovechkin and Kobzar occurred in 2022, when the athletes accidentally ended up in the same hotel. Igor played with his wife on the beach, when football player George Puntnikov approached them. The defender asked Igor to help in the fight against the uncontrollable Ovechkin.

– My wife and my ball began to crush in pairs. The guy comes up to us: “Oh, you play well. Come tomorrow, here the Ovechkin team is constantly playing. Help us. ” We are: “Cool, we will play.” Then it turned out that it was a football player George Puppanes.

The next day we also recognized me. Therefore, when they began to share, Ovechkin took all the athletes, and I got women and children. Every day from 16 hours to 18:30 we cut into beach volleyball. They chopped in the literal sense. Hockey players did not play for the sake of pleasure, but to win, – quotes Kobzar “Business Online”.

The appearance of Kobzar in a party of athletes nullified the dominance of the squad of the captain of Washington. According to the volleyball player, from the 20–25 parties the hockey team was able to take only about two. In 2024, the situation was aggravated. Igor did not allow the greatest sniper in the history of hockey at least once rejoice in victory.

Revenge for the defeat

But revenge is a dish that is served cold. In 2025, the fate of sports-sportsmen again intersected on the Turkish beach. This time, Alexander achieved significant progress in volleyball. It is not known how many parties the irreconcilable rivals were held, but Ovechkin hastened to share successes with Kobzar with subscribers on social networks in social networks. In the video, the hockey player asked Igor the question of the number of his victories, and the volleyball player honestly admitted that in 12 days they accumulated eight.

“So think which of us is the best volleyball player,” Alexander summed up with a smile.

It is very good that Ovechkin over the years does not lose his desire to self -improve and win. Opponents from the NHL are just right to strain greatly in anticipation of the beginning of a new regular championship, where the Russian will probably continue to strengthen his own greatness.
