Putin takes a tumble in ice-hockey game (photos-video)

He brushed it off fast

Newsroom May 11 05:02

The Russian President, 64, slipped trying to take the puck from a rival and ended up flat on his back.
He skidded on the ice and ended up falling sideways – to the gasps of the crowd.
He was soon back in action for his team of former pros and businessmen for the match in at the Bolshoy Ice Dome in the city of Sochi, which hosted the Winter Olympics in 2014.
Putin managed to get up again quickly, despite his bulky protective gear.
