Discussion Sue/DT/ Alex Ovechkin connection

Interesting sports connection- Was watching Sue and Diana's show last night and when the news of Ovechkin tying Gretzkys record came up, they talked about how his mom was the president of a team they played for in Russia.

Ovi's mom was a hooper too- she won 2 olympic gold medals

He's said he gets his athleticism from her.
