Watching this video of Alex Ovechkin rollerblading is the best minute you’ll spend today

[dropcap]Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin is spending one of his last few Sundays at home at Gorky Park in Moscow. Joined by his fiancee Nastya Shubskaya, Russian rapper T-Killah, and friend Goose (Alex Gusev), Ovechkin strapped on his rollerblades and took a lap around the park.[/dropcap]

“My love Nastya recorded this master class,” Ovechkin wrote on Instagram. “How do you like it?”

I, for one, think this is the best thing I’ll see today, Ovi. Thanks for asking. Reader Elizabeth agrees.

T-Killah also took a selfie while Ovechkin skated behind him.

Later, after ripping off his 90’s-era rollerblades, the Russian machine went on a bike ride with his friends.

“I love Moscow,” Ovechkin wrote on Instagram. “It’s the best city on earth. With my friends and my girl.”

Gorky Park is the most famous public park in Moscow and is equivalent to Central Park in New York.

Как же здесь классно👍🏼😍
