Putin falls on his face during hockey victory lap
Russian President Vladimir Putin took a tumble after an exhibition hockey game in Sochi on Friday.
The president was skating around the edge of the rink, waving to the crowd, when he tripped on a red carpet and fell flat on his face. Two of his teammates tried and failed to alert the Russian president to the upcoming obstacle.
Putin immediately got back up and resumed skating and waving.
The president participates in the hockey match each year with some former professional players and his friends. He scored eight goals in this year’s game.
