Alexander Ovechkin

Russian ice hockey player

Alexander Ovechkin belongs to the record of sport as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.

The record lists Alexander Ovechkin as Russian ice hockey player.

Alexander Ovechkin was born at Moscow in 1985. His recorded nationality is the Soviet Union.

Modern careers are conducted in public and at speed, with reputations formed and revised far faster than the work itself changes.

He worked as ice hockey player.

Sport is the rare field that publishes its own evidence: the result is the argument.

His work was formally recognised with the Order of Honour and Honoured Master of Sports of Russia.

That the work was done from the Soviet Union matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.

Alexander Ovechkin is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
