“I think it’s important to support women and women’s professional athletes – not just in the United States, but all over the world,” Ovechkin told ESPN. “It was also important for me to support the D.C. community. I support everybody in this town. Me and my wife love to go watch a soccer game, watch football, and baseball. We all win. If I have this opportunity, I think it’s very important for me to do it, because it also shows we care.”

Ovechkin said he was also inspired by his mother, Tatyana, a two-time Olympic gold-medal-winning basketball player for Russia. Ovechkin said his mother taught him that “it doesn’t matter if you are a man or a woman, you should be able to chase the same goals as a professional athlete.”

…“My dad was a soccer player, he played for Dynamo, but he got hurt and he stopped playing,” Ovechkin said. “I have some friends who play for the national team in Russia. I love to play soccer in the summer with my friends. I think I’m good, but probably I’m not good.”
