Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Belarusian counterpart Aexander Lukashenko showed off their moves during a friendly ice-hockey match on Friday.

The two political heavyweights took to the ice in the Russian resort city of Sochi following a bilateral meeting on culture, education and sport.

Both presidents played on the same side - and beat the opposing team by 16 goals to one.

President Putin, perhaps better known for his black belt in judo, was the top scorer with seven goals.
