A dog delighted sports fans Wednesday when he was an unexpected competitor at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.

It happened during the team sprint qualification in women’s cross-country skiing, when a dog dashed onto the course and followed two skiers across the finish line.

NBC's coverage explained that he had "zoomed with two skiers across the finish line. The good boy's sprint was caught by the photo finish camera."

P.S. Had no idea where to put this, but I had to share.

I watched it as it happened and immediately began learning all I could about Wolfdogs. Nazgul had an amazing presence.

Wouldn’t be shocked if this was staged to take some of the heat off the fucked up shit the IOC is carrying for Russia. (The sign carrier leading the Ukrainian delegation was Russian. And the bullshitnwith the skeleton guy that had pictures of dead ollympians killed by Russian getting disqualified,)

Or maybe it’s the other stuff like curlers getting knocked out because of whatever.
