MMA fighter rescues police officer in Vienna

On the evening of November 2, a series of attacks took place in Vienna.

The offender started shooting in the city center, which killed four people, more than two dozen were wounded, and the shooter himself was liquidated.

In these terrible hours, when most of the citizens tried to hide from danger, there was a place for heroism.

During the attack, the terrorist wounded one of the police officers.

While an employee of a local cafe, Osama Joda, tried to stop the blood, an Austrian MMA fighter of Turkish origin Mikail Ozen and his friend Recep Gultekin came to his aid.

According to media reports, they helped drag the law enforcement officer to the ambulance.

“We immediately knew what to do, we could not help but help.

Austria is our home.

We are always ready to help, ”Ozena quotes the BBC.

As a token of gratitude, Turkish Ambassador to Austria Ozan Ceyhun received the fighter and his friend in the diplomatic mission.

Little is known about Ozen's MMA career.

He performs in the light weight category, and he has five victories on his account.

In addition, the athlete works as a coach.

UFC light heavyweight champion John Jones also got into an unpleasant situation in early November.

A thief entered the territory of his house and tried to steal one of the parked cars.

He practically succeeded when a fighter ran out of the house with a shotgun in his hands.

“I ended up knocking the muzzle of my shotgun on the driver's window.

The next time you try to rob someone, make sure you can escape.

He is lucky that I am smart enough not to shoot the fleeing person, ”Jones told about the incident.

“Prygunov is a perfectionist director.

Until the fruit is in the basket.

We tried different angles, different plans ... As a result, 30 seconds got into the film, and we shot them for about three to four hours.

Not that difficult, but long.

I'm still a typical athlete, I wanted to quickly get things done and go home.

It's just that there are no takes in sports, like in the movies, ”Kirilenko told Match TV.

A documentary film about Liverpool will soon be released, which will be dedicated to the team's first championship in the English Premier League in 30 years.

Panarin and Znarok secretly married

In the life of New York Rangers striker Artemy Panarin, a joyful event happened.

He legalized relations with the daughter of coach Oleg Znarka Alisa, whom he had been dating for several years.

The girl herself spoke about this, answering questions from subscribers on Instagram.

According to her, the wedding ceremony took place some time ago and was of a formal nature, as the couple decided to postpone the celebration until the epidemiological situation improves.

“Did you change your surname?

Not yet, but I will change soon ”, - wrote Alice.

By the way, it did not immediately become known about the engagement of the couple.

The hockey player told about her only a year later, admitting that initially the wedding ceremony was supposed to take place in Italy.

Panarin's colleague in the Russian national team, Alexander Ovechkin, came to Russia in the offseason.

After a long absence from his homeland, he is traditionally in the spotlight.

In particular, the hockey player took part in Tina Kandelaki's “Special Guest” program.

Among other things, he stated that he would prefer to meet the end of the world in oblivion.

“When you sit with friends and talk about such not very good topics and think:“ Okay.

They say to you: "Tomorrow we have the end of the world."

What do we have to do?"

It is clear to stay with my parents.

Pick them all up and go to the bar.

And don't think about anything about it, ”the hockey player admitted.

Medvedev remembered how he missed the plane

Tennis player Daniil Medvedev, who won the Masters in Paris last week and made his way to the ATP Final Tournament, in turn, said what happens after too much celebration.

According to him, the only time in his life he missed the plane after the wedding of Karen Khachanov.

The celebration lasted two days, ended late at night and was given to all those present “a little difficult,” Medvedev admitted.

And the next day he needed to fly from Barcelona to the capital of France to apply for an Australian visa.

“But I caught the plane, and then I had the next flight from Paris to Nice to return home.

I was very tired and went to Orly airport because the tickets are usually cheaper from there.

Therefore, I was sure that I had them.

I arrived there and thought: "Okay, what terminal?"

Then I saw that I had a flight from Charles de Gaulle airport.

I couldn't catch this flight in any way, ”Medvedev recalled.
