Alex Ovechkin is a true force of nature.
At 39, he scored 15 goals in his first 18 games of the season… Before suffering an injury.
But there may be a reason for his impressive offensive production this season.
In an article from Responsible Gambler, we read that Ovi started his summer by going on vacation to Türkiye.
He didn’t necessarily pay attention to what he ate…so much so that at one point, he weighed 258 pounds.
It’s a lot.
But the Capitals captain has returned to work to prepare for the season and that’s where it gets interesting.
Still according to the Responsible Gambler article, Ovi lost 33 pounds (!!!) and he started the campaign weighing 225 pounds.
It’s impressive:
It’s crazy the same.
Losing that much weight in just a few months is (really) not easy… But Ovechkin did what he had to do to get back in shape and perform well on the ice.
It worked, by the way.
But at a certain point, Ovi had no choice but to start training super seriously because otherwise his body wouldn’t keep up at his age.
This summer, a photo of him got people talking… And with good reason:
If guys like Sidney Crosby and LeBron James are able to be this good as they approach 40, it’s because they take care of their bodies and it’s because they put in the effort to stay at the top of their game. shape.
And if Alex Ovechkin wants to continue to have the chance to break Wayne Gretzky’s record for most goals scored in the NHL, he has no choice but to work to make it happen.
Remember that he is currently injured, but we saw him jump on the ice yesterday in Washington.
He was supposed to miss between 4 and 6 weeks of activities:
