Olympic Athletes from Russia celebrate their win in the Pyeongchang 2018 men’s hockey final on Sunday. The Russian hockey team’s first Olympic gold since 1992 was won on a goal in sudden-death overtime by forward Kirill Kaprizov, 29 seconds into a German high-sticking penalty. Minutes after the game, Russian President Vladimir Putin called OAR men’s hockey coach Oleg Znarok to congratulate him on the victory, Znarok said after the game. Germany’s Jonas Mueller scored the go-ahead goal three minutes later to take a 3-2 lead that silenced the mostly Russian crowd.
