It is worth noting that while there is no question of the resumption of the North American leagues, however, the athletes do not lose hope to finish the started championships. So, captain of the Washington Capitals Alexander Ovechkin suggested that the season of the National Hockey League (NHL) could resume after a pause in July or August. He noted that he does not yet know how exactly this will happen, but he assured that all players are in shape and are ready to go on the ice.

A confirmation of his words was the video shared by Anastasia Shubskaya. She showed how her husband is training on the picturesque bank of the river. In addition, Ovechkin launched a challenge, within which it is necessary to perform an exercise simulating the speed of a hockey player with a stick. His result was 91 reps in 45 seconds. Soon, a new record was set by Lokomotiv midfielder Anton Miranchuk.

An interesting way to “fight” with the coronavirus was invented by the Ukrainian defender of Manchester City Alexander Zinchenko. He went outside and turned to illness.

“The virus, just leave us alone and let everyone enjoy our beautiful game,” Zinchenko wrote on Instagram.

There is no need to speak about the resumption of the tennis season, which upsets not only the current athletes, who increasingly assume that the current season is lost for them, but also the legends of the past. The 18-time winner of the Grand Slam tournaments, Martin Navratilova, spoke about the significance of Wimbledon, which was canceled due to a pandemic.

“I came to Wimbledon from the age of 16 and since then I have not missed a single season. The first time we were left without him, and I really want to get on a plane and just touch the lawn, ”Laureus quoted Navratilova as saying.

Pets help many athletes stay in optimal shape. So, the partner of the hockey player “New York Rangers” Artemy Panarin was a dog named Red. While the owner with the club in his hands practiced the stroke exercise, the dog carefully tried to intercept the ball. It is not known who emerged victorious from this confrontation, but both showed excellent reaction and perseverance.

Meanwhile, the girl Panarina, daughter of ex-mentor of the Russian national team Oleg Znark Alisa, boasted a ring on her ring finger. The couple has been dating for more than four years, but it is not known whether this is an engagement.

But the Slovak tennis player Dominika Tsibulkova has long been happy in family life. Shortly after she announced the end of her professional career last December, it became known that she and her husband, swimmer Michal Navara, were expecting their first child. And the other day, the ex-athlete starred in a fairly candid photo shoot for the fashion magazine Grade.

Forward “Krasnodar” Ari took part in the popular doubles challenge. Its participants are invited to portray a rider and a horse, and the role of the latter is most often played by girls with long hair. The footballer shot a short video in which he “rides” on his daughter Ariana, pushing her with a wire from the charger.

In between training, Ovechkin also spends time with his family and, in particular, introduces his son Sergei to the wild. So, he showed the boy a dolphin, swam to their house. In addition, the hockey player took up cooking and prepared a live burger on Instagram.

Change of image of Podchufarova and Yankova’s self-irony

Russian biathlete Olga Podchufarova, with an irony about her everyday life, is trying to brighten up her self-isolation by changing her image. However, according to her, so far no success has been achieved in this matter.

“Dear Carl. During the period of self-isolation, I dyed four times already. My patience snapped. No. Not so ... Ka-a-arl! I've painted four times already, and I'm still not blonde. From time to time I become more and more red. Now I think, to blame me all the problems for insulation or paint ?! ” - wondered Podchufarova.

Some time ago, she launched the “useless relay race” as opposed to many famous girls who urge to continue to paint, do hairstyles and dress up even for self-isolation. Podchufarova said she feels comfortable in a bathrobe, and urged her not to lose her mood.

And the six-time world champion in swimming, Yulia Efimova, clearly has no problems with hairstyles. She showed a photograph in which a magnificent hair flaunted on her head. According to her, the film, whose name she did not indicate, inspired her to create a hairdressing masterpiece.

Mixed martial artist Anastasia Yankova also complained about the costs of quarantine. In the absence of full-fledged training, the athlete does not need to cut her nails briefly, so now she is in the "Lady Gaga" stage.

“There is not even a sack at home ... Well, if only to bring someone who wants to be beaten from the street. In short, if the situation does not change in the near future and the halls do not open, I will look like that grandfather with meter nails from the program about strange world champions, ”Yankova joked.
