Beijing, February 17, Andrey Senchenko. USA and Canada in ice hockey from the Olympic tournament in Beijing, says the coach of the Russian team Sergei Fedorov. Teams from the USA and Canada left the tournament at the quarterfinal stage. The Americans lost to the Slovaks in shootouts, and the Canadians lost to the Swedes in regular time. «It seems that the Canadians did not have very intensive training camps, the Americans got tired. In Beijing, you have to play at different times, but people's biological clocks work differently. Apparently, the North American teams were tired at the moment, because of which they conceded unnecessary goals and could not find the strength to recoup,” Fedorov told reporters. The coach also emphasized that the Russian team was preparing for such conditions. “At the training camp in Novogorsk, we gradually rebuilt. three days they postponed the training an hour earlier. True, here we still needed time to adapt, but I am glad that we have worked in this direction, «added Fedorov.
