FC Mezhgorye 135 Posted October 9, 2018 #1347 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Только что, heywoodu сказал: Cool Popov wasn't speaking English, but alright, I'm always pleased to see athletes from non-English speaking countries give a pretty easy interview without needing a translator, it makes certain aspects of life a lot easier for them At one time it was a big problem when athletes (especially football or hockey players) left for other countries and couldn't say anything. Because of what broke career and returned home. And now, before leaving for the USA or Canada, our young hockey players speak English well. Also when there is facebook and instagram communication of athletes who have participated in competitions since childhood, has reached a new level. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
