A Czechoslovakian wolfdog named Nazghul briefly turned into an extra competitor during the womens cross country skiing team sprint at the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, after slipping away from its owner near the venue and running onto the course in the final stretch.
The dog sprinted alongside athletes and even crossed the finish line, triggering the official photo finish camera before being safely brought under control. No one was injured and officials treated it as a light moment once they confirmed everyone on the course was safe.
Nazghul belongs to a relative of Olympic officials, who said he was upset about being left behind and likely followed them to the race. Clips of the unexpected four legged racer quickly went viral as viewers shared the moment from the course.
