Vladimir Putin Falls Face First On Carpet During Ice Hockey Victory Lap, Internet Has Field Day
Vladimir Putin fell face first after tripping on a carpet at the Bolshoi Ice Arena in the Black Sea resort of Sochi. Video posted online immediately went viral with people shooting off hilarious jokes.
He might be fierce competitor in the ice hockey rink, but gravity shows mercy to no one. Not even the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin. Up until now, we've all had this 'macho,' intimidating image of Mr Putin in our heads. But that image just had an epic slip.
At the Bolshoi Ice Arena in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, Putin played on the "Legends" team alongside Russian hockey stars, such as Slava Fetisov and Pavel Bure. His team circled the rink on skates as they celebrated a 14-7 victory.
But while Mr. Putin was taking his victory lap alongside his teammates, he fell face first after tripping on a carpet! The video posted online, immediately went viral with people shooting off some hilarious jokes:

I¡¯m sure the goalie will be jailed for not allowing Daddy Vladdy to score 10.
Goalie? What goalie?
