| Vyacheslav Alexandrovich Fetisov (born April 20, 1958, Moscow, Russia, U.S.S.R.), Russian hockey player who was regarded as one of the best defensemen in the history of the sport. As a member of the Soviet Olympic team in the 1980s, he won two gold medals and a silver. He was also a member of seven world championship teams (1978–79, 1981–84, and 1986).
A left-handed shooter, Fetisov was recognized early as an outstanding defenseman.
Fetisov’s Olympic career began as a member of the team that competed at the 1980 Olympic Games in Lake Placid, New York. There the favoured Soviet squad was upset 4–3 by a young American team that they had defeated 10–3 in an exhibition game less than a week before the Games. Fetisov and his teammates settled for silver medals in 1980, but at the 1984 Olympics in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia (now in Bosnia and Herzegovina), the Soviet Union swept all seven of its games en route to Fetisov’s first gold medal. At the 1988 Olympics in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, his team was slightly less dominant but still gained the gold.
He was the key member of the bidding committee presenting the Sochi 2014 proposal to
the IOC in Guatemala in 2007, when a city was chosen to host the 2014 Winter
Olympics.
Viacheslav Fetisov is the Russian hockey legend.

| The first ever Olympic Russian winners in hockey
At the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, the Soviet team went undefeated and won its first gold medal.
Ice hockey tournament at the Winter Olympics in 1956 was played among 10 teams in two stages. At the first stage contenders divided into three groups Group A consisted of teams of Canada, the United Team of Germany, Italy and Austria. Group B teams were Czechoslovakia, the United States and Poland, in the third Group there were teams of the USSR , Sweden and Switzerland. Two of the strongest teams from each group were to meet further in the final round.
The Olympic Games allowed the USSR team to demonstrate that the Russians were instantly the new power in amateur hockey.
The Soviets, wearing their now-unfamiliar blue jerseys with the white V stripe, had Nikolai Puchkov in goal, the great tandem of Nikolai Sologubov and Ivan Tregubov on defense with high scoring Aleksei Guryshev, and Yevgeni Babichbut make no mistake, this team was led by the great Vsevolod Bobrov. 
Bobrov was the original "Russian Rocket," a nickname earned after favorable comparisons to Maurice Richard. A former bandy and football (soccer) star, Bobrov was a wonderful player who would later become the coach of the 1972 Summit Series Russian squad. 
The Soviets were perfect in their very first go around, winning all 7 games, including a 2-0 shutout against Canada on February 4th. Canada outshot the Soviets 23-9, but goalie Puchkov was dominant.

| Valery Borisovich Kharlamov (Mr. Russian hockey) was born on
January 14, 1948 - August 27, 1981. He was a star ice hockey player from the Soviet Union and was considered one of the greatest players in the world. Kharlamov gained international recognition when he led his national team to the Gold Medal at the 1972 Winter Olympics. At the 1976 Winter Olympics, he scored the game-winning goal in the final game to earn his second Olympic gold medal.
In addition to his three Olympic medals (two golds and a silver (in 1980, Lake Placid)), Kharlamov also won eight World Championships (1969-71, 1973-75, 1978-79) and six European Championship (1969, 1970, 1973-75, 1979). He also won silvers (1972, 1976) and bronze (1977) at the World Championships and silvers (1971, 1972, 1976, 1978) and bronze (1977) at the European Championships.
But his fame was cemented when he was anointed by all-time all-star Canadian Bobby Hull, who argued that Kharlamov was “the best winger in the world.”
Kharlamov combined superior hockey intelligence with outstanding natural talent, and, as the Canadian media put it, “established himself as one of the most formidable weapons in the dominant Soviet arsenal during the seventies.”“His talents were God-given and he could do practically everything – a smart play, a tricky pass, a precise shot,” said Hall of Fame goaltender Vladislav Tretyak. “Everything he did looked so easy, so elegant. His execution of hockey was aesthetic and he amazed millions.”

The first game of ice hockey was played between soldiers stationed in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. In 1879 students at McGill University established the first rules for the game and organized ice hockey competitions.The first official men’s international ice hockey tournament at the Olympic Games was held in 1920.Women's ice hockey has been included in the Olympic Games program since 1998.In the Olympic Winter Games program, there are separate ice hockey competitions for men and women. Two sets of medals are contested.
One of the first «stars» of the Soviet hockey, the Olympic champion Vsevolod Bobrov, was first a famous football player.
