Capitals all-star Alexander Ovechkin met Katja through a Russian social Web site
Who'd figure Alexander Ovechkin for the online dating type? But apparently they don't make 'em here like they do back home: The Capitals' strapping superstar met his new girlfriend, a Moscow college student, on the Internet.
There she was at Caps practice yesterday -- a 20-something named Katja, and described by one spy as "skinny, tan, blond, hot, Russian." Two weeks ago, she flew here for the first date, and they've been together ever since. Ovechkin, 22, declined to discuss the relationship -- but happily, Katja dished to a Russian newspaper.
According to her interview with SovSport, the two met online last fall after she clicked on his profile on Odnoklassniki, a Russian equivalent of Classmates.com or Facebook, on which they were linked by a mutual friend.Ovechkin saw that she had visited his profile and wrote to her -- but she refused to believe it was the real Ovechkin until he gave an interview to SovSport in which he said "hello to SPY," her online name.
"I still was cautious," she told the paper. "[He] used such beautiful words and spoke about such serious things! But he only saw my photos!" He won her over with phone calls, teddy bears, roses. "He'd send me a [text message] 10 minutes before the start of the game, and even in between during the breaks, [saying] 'Thinking of you' or 'Honey, I scored this goal in your honor.' "
Things have apparently been going swimmingly since she arrived in D.C. on Feb. 7: "Sasha is a very romantic person. . . . They say sports stars are arrogant, difficult people. Not Ovechkin! It's not how he was raised."

Um. I have a facebook and myspace AND am single. HELLLLLOOO?!?!?! As far as she goes, she is adorable. I just hope this doesn't turn into a Sergei Fedorov/Anna Kournikova pt2. Us hockey fans know what that whole relationship did to him. Maybe that's why they brought Fedorov in?...to get Alex to focus...? Ok, I'm reading too much into things. Carry on.
Ovechkin finds love.....online.
