Russia (bbabo.net), - Egor Yakovlev, defender of the Russian national ice hockey team, got into the symbolic team of the Winter Olympic Games in Beijing.

Yakovlev's company was made up of: goalkeeper Patrik Rybar (Slovakia), forwards Mikko Lehtonen and Sakari Manninen (both from Finland), Juraj Slafkovski (Slovakia), Lukas Wallmark (Sweden).

In six matches at the Olympics, Yakovlev scored two assists - in meetings with Denmark (3:1) and Sweden (2:1). Recall that in the final, the wards of Alexei Zhamnov lost to the Finns (1:2), leading in the score during the match.

“The positive thing is that we played in the final, we reached it. This is already a result. It’s hard to win with one goal, that’s a fact. We scored early and calmed down, discarded more. If they continued to show their hockey after the goal, everything could have turned out differently, "Yakovlev said after the final in an interview with reporters.
