All eyes will be on US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin today as they prepare to meet face-to-face for the first time.

The pair certainly have a lot to discuss when they get together at the G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany, from the conflicts in Syria and Ukraine to the allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 US election.

But there are some other, far less serious things the people of Twitter are ridiculously looking forward to seeing between the two of them.

1. That iconic handshake

Can't wait for the Trump/Putin handshake... it's going to be epic!

One for the anthropologists today as two silver-backs meet in a show of pathetic machismo. Handshake or arm-wrestle? #Putin #Trump #G20

2. The body language

Looking forward to seeing the body language between Trump & Putin. Trump being 6ft tall will have to bow slightly during the handshake..#NVC

First meeting of Trump and Putin needs no speculation. Y'all know they'll circle each other, sniff each others bums & growl for like 20 mins
