A dog breaks into the ski race at the Winter Olympics (video)

In an unusual scene, a dog broke into the women’s cross-country skiing relay race at the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.

A video clip showed a dog storming the race ground and running alongside the female competitors as they approached the finish line, without disrupting the competition.

The irony is that the dog received great encouragement from the fans, stole the spotlight even from the female competitors, and appeared in the Winter Games as if he were a real champion.

It later became clear that the dog escaped from its owner, who was attending one of the Winter Games events, before he found it in the official race arena.
