“Sport number one in Russia?
Hockey, of course.
I don’t keep statistics, but, in my opinion, hockey is much more popular than football in Russia, ”Sport24 quotes Fetisov.
He noted that Russian hockey has a colossal history, winning traditions and a large number of great representatives of this sport.
“We have a huge number of hockey megastars, our teams have achieved great victories.
The fact that the country is northern does not matter.
Therefore, hockey in Russia is loved more, it seems to me, ”Fetisov concluded.
Earlier, sports commentator Dmitry Guberniev said that biathlon is more popular than football and hockey.
