Two of the most successful teams in the history of ice hockey face each other on Sunday in the final of the World Championships in Quebec. Russia's ice hockey national team take on hosts Canada, the current title holders. Last year Russia finished third.
Russia last took the title 15 years ago, but since then the team's best finish was silver in 2002.
The teams have never met in a final. The last time they faced each was in the semis three years ago when Canada won 4-3.
Russia had its revenge at the 2006 Winter Olympics quarter-finals, when the score then was 2-0.
Russia is now now level with Canada – each has won 24 world titles.
