"Russia - Our Beloved Country!" Victorious Hockey Team Roars Out Anthem in Moment of Triumph

"This is a huge hockey family, our favorite team, our Red Machine!”

—The Red Machine, my friends! Here's the greatest goaltender in the history of hockey, Vladislav Tretiak.

Vladislav Tretiak:

—Thank you. Our dear, favorite fans! Thank you so much for your hope and for your love for our sport. Together, we're undefeated! Let's give another round of applause to these Olympic heroes who've returned the gold to us after a 26-year break.

—Thank you! Here's the man who, like the rest of the team, stepped up in our hour of need, Nikita Gusev!

Nikita Gusev:

—Our dear friends, on behalf of my team, I'd like to thank you for your support, for helping us in every game. Thank you so much.

—And here's the first vice-president of our Ice Hockey Federation, Roman Rotenberg.

—My friends, thank you for your support. You're the best. Because of you, we won. Now, we'll go to China to win for the 10th time. I'd like to say that the most memorable moment at these Olympics was when we sang the anthem. Let's sing the anthem again, together. Let the entire country hear us.
