"Break was great," the 40-year-old Ovechkin said after Tuesday's skate. "Kind of a long flight, but worth it. Some times with family, friends. Don't think about hockey, don't think about the world." There was one other thing Ovechkin didn't think about. When asked if he had been watching the Olympics at all, Ovechkin replied "no" and ended the press conference.
This ski cross race at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics started out pretty normal, but it ended with one of the most dramatic photo finishes in sport history, let alone ski racing history.
