Skeletonists and bobsledders with sticks, a strongman in the hockey goal / Article

The organizers, as always, took care of a varied composition. Among the participants were the skeleton great Martins Dukurs, the hockey masters Aleksandrs Nizivijs and Mārtiņš Karsums, as well as the strongman Dainis Zāgeris in the role of goalkeeper. Bobsledder Emils Tsipulis joined Nizivi and Dukurs in one attacking trio.

The team of hockey friends, which was also represented by Latvian Television’s “Sporta studija”, immediately agreed on the bench to donate 10 euros for every goal scored. On the other hand, every puck scored added 20 euros to Rodrigo’s family account.

The joy of the game was expressed not only in the scored goals, but also in the players encouraging each other and actively discussing the events on the bench.

Turn on your feet, Michael, turn on your feet!

Songs, let’s go! By the dam, let the river pass by the dam!

Yes! Martin Dukur! From a pass by Reinas Ošienek… It worked with the second pass, yes?

There is nothing to give. There is nothing to give, we slide, slide…

A friendly match and you almost beat the goalkeeper himself! Insanity…

That’s all right? Davidson, hey! Show which way is the exit?

Shameless remains! From the very beginning I was poked. Looking for scabies. Look, he’s already watching – the real bugger.

I feel you are onto something there. It stinks. Sit in the cart! See you on the square! What shift are you on? In the fastest!

Zone! The zone was, hey!

In one episode, the audience almost witnessed a classic hockey fight, which, before it had even started, turned into dancing on the ice.

After a friendly score of 10:10 in regular time, the traditional element of the show followed – post-game shots.

“Go, go! Where are you going to shoot for me? You have to learn how to shoot penalties,” Zaħeris was happy about protecting his own goal.

The biggest joy at the end of the game was a new record, with everyone donating 5,665 euros.
