This will undoubtedly be one of the most memorable images of the Winter Olympics! On Wednesday, during the qualifying rounds of the team cross-country skiing sprint in Milano Cortina, a surprising event caught the attention of the public and the media: a dog appeared on the track, crossing the finish line amidst the athletes competing in the event. Organizers quickly took charge of the animal to ensure the safety of the participants and allow the competition to proceed as normal.
The dog's intrusion occurred during the qualifying rounds, but the competitors didn't seem to mind. This type of situation remains exceptional in high-level competitions governed by strict safety protocols. But it certainly brings a smile to your face!
Despite this interruption, the competition continued without delay or consequences for the participants.
