Swedish ice hockey player Kim Martin Hasson talked about her time in Russia, and also recalled her experience as a goalkeeper of the Tornado club in the season 2011/12.
We were forced to drink vodka with the club director. There was a lot of alcohol, and to refuse it was considered an insult. Sometimes I drank, and sometimes I just pretended and secretly spilled it.

The hockey player added that she liked living in Russia, and her new acquaintances were nice and kind people.
