How do Russian Grannies Spend Their Free Time

In the quiet Russian village of Bereznik, there are only around 1000 people. But out of those 1000, 12 make up a very special hockey team — a team of babushkas (grandmas)! 🏒 These grandmas have been hitting the ice for five years, and their captain is 83 years old! They prove that age shouldn’t stop you from enjoying sports. I went to Russia’s province to watch their 5-year anniversary match with a neighboring team of grandmothers. This was a shocking experience for me, to see grandmas play and skate better than most young people I know! Their coach is an Olympic athlete, and she puts her heart and soul into this team. They even have a world record because there’s no one like them! 💪 Russia is full of unexpected stories and inspiring people, and this is one that few will believe. Watch my video and see it with your own eyes, only in Russia you’ll find a team of babushka hockey players! 🏒🥅⛸️ Stay up to date on my adventures, don’t forget to like 👍 & subscribe! 🔔 If you’d like to support me ❤️ 💌 For collaborations or inquiries: sashameetsrussia@ 📸 — for more content and behind the scenes of living in Russia 00:00 This village has a babushka hockey team! 🏒 0:43 Meet the 83 year old hockey captain! ⛸️ 02:26 Meet their Olympian hockey coach! 🥇 03:57 How did they start playing hockey?! 🥅 04:40 An incredible ice arena ❄️ 05:45 Getting warmed up for the match! 06:16 How did they learn how to skate?! ⛸️ 07:14 Who do they compete with? 😱 07:48 The hockey match begins! 🏒 08:33 Who Won?! 🥇 09:18 Is hockey good for grandmas? 👵🏻 10:27 Who should they compete with next?!🇺🇸 11:26 They have a world record! 🌎 12:26 A Russian Village House! 🇷🇺 12:53 Babushka trains for hockey! 💪 14:28 A present for me ❤️ 14:49 Typical Russian babushka 😂 15:08 What do these babushkas eat?! 🥧 16:53 Sport does not belong in politics! 17:28 Till next time! ❤️🏒
