Russian tennis player Maria Kirilenko has announced that she has ended her engagement to ice hockey star Alex Ovechkin.
The world number 93 had been engaged to the three-time NHL MVP since December 2012, having dated the Washington Capitals player since 2011.
The 27-year-old said in a statement released through the Russian Tennis Federation: "Our relationship is over, but I respect [Ovechkin] as a person and as an athlete, and I respectfully wish him further sporting success."
Ovechkin has featured in three Winter Olympics for Russia, including the Games in Sochi earlier this year.
