Alexander Ovechkin can have any woman he wants, let's face it. I guess that's why it's so suprising that his new girlfriend is some Russian student he talked to online on a sports website. (Well, apparently they had a mutual friend or two, but had never met). They didn't actually meet in person until two weeks ago

Q.: Alex said that you two met over the internet. Could you tell the details?
A: Yes, we met through the site "Odnoklassniki". I love sports, and I am a long time fan of Moscow Dynamo. I had a friend Anton Shunin, who is a goalkeeper of Moscow Dynamo soccer club. And he had a friend Sasha Ovechkin. I clicked on his profile just for surfing. I didn't believe he was a real one. There are a lot of fake ones at "Odnoklassniki" site! The site allows you to see who visited your profile. All of a sudden I am receiving a message from Ovechkin! He was asking something about our mutual friends. I answered, but didn't take it seriously. I thought he was a bogus Ovechkin. I even told him it was a shame to fake Ovechkin. And he answered with a bunch of exclamation and question marks, "You don't believe me??!!"
I didn't believe him for the whole week while he was trying to prove he was real. He was giving the names of Dynamo players, etc., but you can find it on internet. And finally he said, "Ok, buy the newspaper 'Sovetsky Sport' for Nov. 29 and you will see." I opened your newspaper and read in his interview "I want to say hello to 'SPY'!". And SPY was my name on "Odnoklassniki" site.
Q.: Yes, I remember. Ovechkin called SovSport writer Dmitri Chesnokov and asked for an interview. Our initial thought was that request was related to contract negotiations. At the end of interview he said "hello to 'SPY'". For three months we tried to figure out what he meant.
A.: But I still was cautious. Sasha used such beautiful words and spoke about such serious things! But he only saw my photos!
One day he said, "We are leaving for a road trip. I am asking you a favor to give me your phone number". I gave him the phone and the next morning a text from him "Hi! This is my American phone number". And our infinite text correspondence has started from there, you can write down another novel about it. You won't believe it, we text to each other every half hour! He'd send me text 10 minutes before the start of the game, and even in between during the breaks. "Thinking of you" or "Honey, I scored this goal in your honor".
And he called me... We talked for 2 hours every day. |
It's a pretty crazy story... very 21st century.
