Prime Minister Putin hits the ice


Russian Prime Minister Vladimir has learned how to ice skate as he had promised.

On Friday night he went to the skating rink at Moscow’s Luzhniki stadium. At the time the All-Russia competitions for young hockey players, called the "Golden Puck" was taking place.

The Prime Minister was wearing a red and blue uniform with the number 11 on it when he took to the ice.

He shook hands with every hockey player and wished them all luck in reaching the finals.

In February of this year, during a videoconference with members of the Russian hockey team that won the Universiade in Istanbul, Prime Minister Putin vowed to learn to skate.

He started training two months ago and has kept his promise to the sporting world.
