Russian prime minister Dmitry Medvedev enjoys men’s downhill, ski jumping

In addition to Russian president Vladimir Putin taking in the final day of team figure skating, the country’s prime minister also dropped in on an Olympic competition today - two of them, in fact.

Dmitry Medvedev visited Rosa Khutor today to catch the men’s downhill final, which was won by Austria’s Matthias Mayer.

While there, he donned a ski jumper’s helmet and also visited with International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach.
