Prime Minister Vladimir Putin attends the ceremony announcing the host of the 2016 World Hockey Championships

“Russia deserves to host this championship not just to commemorate our glorious achievements, and not just because we have not been awarded this honour in decades, but because of our great desire to stage a great event and promote the ideas of sportsmanship, athletism and fair play.”
