Vladimir Putin has a rather impressible extra-curricular CV. When he is on a break from being Russia’s president, he dabbles in a few other interesting things. And by ‘few’, I mean a ridiculous list of awesome things: Putin has driven a Formula One race car…
…gone deep sea diving in a submarine; hunted with a rifle in the wild…
…and done a spot of shirtless horseback riding.
Now the miracle man can add something else – he scored eight goals during an “exhibition hockey match” in Sochi on Saturday.
Putin, who is now 62 had reports of ill health earlier in the year. Is he trying to prove to Russia that he is A-OK?
The hockey performance is just the latest in a long list of macho publicity stunts intended to build up Putin’s cult of personality inside Russia.
Very interesting, along with Russia’s sagging economy.
