Vladimir Putin takes time off to hit the slopes in Sochi

Putin and Alexander Lukashenko headed down the hillside in Krasnaya Polyana near the Black Sea resort of Sochi, where Russia hosted the 2014 Winter Olympics. The Russian, 66, stood out from the crowd in a bright red ski jacket, along with a helmet, goggles and white gloves. It is the latest in a long line of stunts to show off Putin's purported physical prowess, following the Russian President's efforts at ice hockey, judo and horse riding.
