Here’s how Alexander described his impressions of the training:
I’m very happy that finally we were allowed exercise. It’s great, although restrictions, of course, enough. For example, after you arrived at the stadium, must undergo a medical examination, pass a test for coronavirus. 40 minutes have to wait in the hallway, and only after the doctor gives the okay, you can go to the locker room. There will need to be wearing a mask and gloves. But then you can go on the ice without all these things. It’s cool when you realize that back in business. Yes, of course, I understand that in the near future will not be like before, when you do all that you want. But I hope that with time this all will pass and we will be back to normal.
