Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has taken another step to boost his charisma by holding a wrestling session with members of Russia's national teams. The training took place on Wednesday in a brand new sports hall in St-Petersburg, with journalists and photographers watching on. Putin holds a black belt in Judo. However, he did not just limit himself to the Japanese martial art. He showed off his skills from its Russian analogue Sambo and from Greek-Roman and freestyle wrestling.
