from Pavel Lysenko of SovSport.ru (translated)

Captain "Washington" Alexander Ovechkin was awarded a medal "For merits in the development of the Olympic movement in Russia" and answered questions from reporters.

Has there been offers to move back to Russia?

- This question does not need to ask me, and leadership "in Washington." But it is to no one spoke. One day, sooner or later, I'll be back. But for now my goal - to win the Stanley Cup with the "Caps". I think only about this. While no one knows what will happen to you in the future. Hockey - it's a business. Maybe tomorrow I will exchange.

Where most feel the support - in Russia or the US?

- And there, and here I was sick, loved, respected. Of course, at home - family and friends. And in the US - the family, the bride, but in Moscow it is much more of their people. In general, I think Washington is their second home. I'm very comfortable here, I live here with my fiancee. I play hockey, what always dreamed of.
