A hockey box on the ice of the Amur was put exactly along the state border. The first duels between the Amur and Chinese hockey players took place in 1958. Since then, the Amurans have not suffered a single defeat. But all viewers are rooting for both teams. I have admired Russian hockey players since childhood and always wanted to be like them. I hope we will be able to play with them more than once, the Chinese athlete said. The Gagarin Cup was specially brought to the festival, the main trophy of the Kontinental Hockey League. The guest of honor was the President of the Russian Ice Hockey Federation Vladislav Tretiak. And also on the ice went Olympic champion skater Alina Zagitova. “We are a better hockey nation and of course we want the Chinese to play well too because they are our friends,” he said. For the third year in a row, the best racers of Russia and China join the border festival of winter sports. And the game of snowballs and swims in ice water in the program for the first time. From the governor of the Amur region, the Chinese were traditionally given a basket of ice cream. And at the end of the day, everyone was waiting for a common gift – an international ice card.
