Vladimir Putin falls over on lap of honour in exhibition ice hockey game in Sochi

The Russian President knows a thing or two about playing ice hockey. He has taken part in the annual Legends game half a dozen times in the past and scored many goals, although the exact total remains something of a mystery.

All was going well for the 66-year-old on his seventh appearance on Friday in Sochi, as he turned out with a number of former NHL greats, governors and a few billionaires.
