According to the report, Panarin allegedly took her phone and told her he would return it in his hotel room. When the woman arrived there, Panarin allegedly pushed her onto the bed, but she managed to escape.The staff member did not report the incident to the police, and the Rangers' management only learned about it several months later. She disclosed the alleged incident to club officials after she was placed on leave due to a separate matter. She had shared anti-anxiety medication with another unnamed Rangers player — a substance that is banned for athletes unless prescribed by a doctor. Believing her suspension was unfair, she informed management that Panarin had allegedly attempted to assault her.</description> <pubDate>Thu, 17 Apr 2025 21:25:00 +0300</pubDate> <category>Sport</category> <amplink>https://english.pravda.ru/amp/news/sports/162102-artemi-panarin/</amplink> <enclosure url="https://english.pravda.ru/image/preview/article/1/0/2/162102_amp.jpeg" length="88026" type="image/jpeg"/> </item> <item> <title>Russians celebrate Alexander Ovechkin's record</title> <link>https://english.pravda.ru/news/sports/162008-alexander-ovechkin-record/</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">3c0e92b3c1b6cf662cbdae8f39bbeecd</guid> <description>Russian users of VKontakte social network flooded the platform with posts about hockey player Alexander Ovechkin due to his record for goals in the NHL regular season, the social network reported.Public interest in the Washington Capitals forward surged over the past two months: from February to March, the number of posts mentioning Ovechnik increased by 67 percent, and in April — by 226 percent compared to February.Since the beginning of the year, Russians have made over 100,000 posts about Ovechkin on VKontakte — these have been viewed more than 232 million times and received around 5.1 million reactions, including over 475,000 comments.</description> <pubDate>Mon, 07 Apr 2025 14:01:00 +0300</pubDate> <category>Sport</category> <amplink>https://english.pravda.ru/amp/news/sports/162008-alexander-ovechkin-record/</amplink> <enclosure url="https://english.pravda.ru/image/preview/article/0/0/8/162008_amp.jpeg" length="109837" type="image/jpeg"/> </item> <item> <title>Russian tennis player Daria Kasatkina condemned for changing her passport</title> <link>https://english.pravda.ru/news/sports/161975-daria-kasatkina/</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">8836a71215fcf46a12182753be1688db</guid> <description>Two-time Olympic hockey champion and State Duma deputy Vyacheslav Fetisov condemned tennis player Daria Kasatkina for changing her citizenship, Sport-Express publication reports.Fetisov accused Kasatkina of ingratitude, stating that it was her choice that she would have to live with."Apparently, there's no point in talking about morality or other values here.

No one in history has achieved such a feat at her age. She has soared in the world rankings and currently holds the No. 6 spot. Over the past two weeks, she has twice defeated the world No. 2 and once beaten the top-ranked player in the Women's Tennis Association (WTA)."I used to constantly check the rankings because I was playing for a dog – my mom promised to get me one if I finished 2024 in the top 20," the 17-year-old Andreeva shared with childlike honesty. She accomplished her goal, finishing the year ranked No. 16, yet she still doesn't have her promised pet. "We're still thinking about what kind to get. Maybe a tiny Labrador-Poodle mix," she noted.Mirra Andreeva was born on April 29, 2007, in Krasnoyarsk, into a family with a deep love for tennis. Her parents, Alexander and Raisa, enrolled both of their daughters, Mirra and Erika, in tennis training from an early age. Both went on to become professional tennis players, though Erika, who is older, has been less successful so far—at 20 years old, she is currently ranked No. 93 in the WTA rankings. Mirra has shared that when they first started playing tennis in their hometown of Krasnoyarsk, she looked up to Erika and tried to imitate her both on and off the court.</description> <pubDate>Mon, 17 Mar 2025 20:58:00 +0300</pubDate> <category>Sport</category> <amplink>https://english.pravda.ru/amp/sports/161839-mirra-andreeva/</amplink> <enclosure url="https://english.pravda.ru/image/preview/article/8/3/9/161839_amp.jpeg" length="84055" type="image/jpeg"/> </item> <item> <title>Kamila Valieva should return her gold medals</title> <link>https://english.pravda.ru/news/sports/161632-kamila-valieva-medals/</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">c8a7b2e87cc4e537fb4285ede819eb55</guid> <description>Olympic speed skating champion and Russian State Duma deputy Svetlana Zhurova has advised figure skater Kamila Valieva to return the medals stripped from her due to a doping scandal, VseProSport reports.Zhurova acknowledged that Valieva deserved her European Championship gold but argued that the controversy surrounding it taints the victory.

Her European Championship gold is set to be awarded to Anna Shcherbakova, while Alexandra Trusova will be recognized as the 2022 Russian champion.

He accused the federation of lying about the true reason for the suspension.Hašek welcomed the exclusion, stating that "international hockey will remain free of Russians and Belarusians next season," which he believes will prevent the promotion of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine and ultimately save many lives. However, he dismissed the IIHF’s official justification – inability to guarantee security – as outright lies."IIHF, stop lying to people! There is only one reason why Russians are not allowed to participate in competitions. If these hockey players took part, the tournament would become massive propaganda for Russia’s special operation!" Dominik Hašek said adding that false explanations from the IIHF undermine the reputation of the federation.</description> <pubDate>Wed, 05 Feb 2025 14:20:00 +0300</pubDate> <category>Sport</category> <amplink>https://english.pravda.ru/amp/news/sports/161617-russia-iihf-championship/</amplink> <enclosure url="https://english.pravda.ru/image/preview/article/6/1/7/161617_amp.jpeg" length="171993" type="image/jpeg"/> </item> <item> <title>Belgian footballer detained in cocaine smuggling case</title> <link>https://english.pravda.ru/news/sports/161544-radja-nainggolan/</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">66f9ebe5fcee50afcc6e8839a491f98a</guid> <description>Belgian footballer and former national team midfielder Radja Nainggolan has been detained in connection with a cocaine smuggling case involving shipments from South America through the Port of Antwerp.Nainggolan is among the suspects apprehended during a major operation in which police conducted 30 searches, Gazet van Antwerpen and Sky Sport Italia publications say citing the Brussels prosecutor's office.Lokeren-Temse club, for which Nainggolan debuted just three days ago, learned of his detention through the media.

The series has included more technology that is seen in street cars, such as small-displacement engines with turbos and hybridization.However, F1's CEO, Stefano Domenicali, has said in an interview with an Italian paper that the series will "never go electric."F1 sees synthetic fuels, also known as e-fuels, as the future of the series. These lab-created fuels are already in limited production but come with an extreme cost. However, this is not a problem for motorsport. F1's goal is to have e-fuels powering the grid by 2026 and then working towards finding a way to use them in passenger cars as combustion bans start to take effect in nations in the 2030s, just as F1 hopes to become carbon neutral.</description> <pubDate>Fri, 03 Mar 2023 17:05:00 +0300</pubDate> <category>Sport</category> <amplink>https://english.pravda.ru/amp/news/sports/155960-formula1/</amplink> <enclosure url="https://english.pravda.ru/image/preview/article/9/6/0/155960_amp.jpeg" length="89792" type="image/jpeg"/> </item> <item> <title>International Boxing Association reinstates boxers from Russia and Belarus</title> <link>https://english.pravda.ru/news/sports/154248-international_boxing_association/</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">e4280174691c0459b4084d609825bec5</guid> <description>The International Boxing Association (IBA) has canceled the suspension of Russian and Belarusian athletes, a message posted on the official website of the organization says.The board of directors of the association voted for the admission of boxers from Russia and Belarus to international competitions.
