A great interview with an athlete
You don’t get alot of really good interviews, but this one with Viktor Kozlov (from a Russian journalist) I really enjoyed. Funny guy too:
When you’re on the road, who are you sharing your room with?
“I live alone in accordance with my status. It is written in the CBA: 600 games or 10 years in the league. After we gave up 24% of our salaries and instituted the salary cap, we were given this.”
And similar to Endy saying that World Championships are more prized than the World Series, Kozlov says the same thing:
What’s more important for you to win: the Stanley Cup or the Olympic gold?
“It is very difficult to say. Winning both would be an honor. In Russia, the Olympic gold is valued much more than the Cup. But these are both equally important trophies. It is difficult to say.”
Interview takes more than 10 minutes to read, but I think it’s really worthwhile. I don’t remember the last time I enjoyed an interview like this from a US/Canadian journalist.
