Husky Crashes Winter Olympics Ski Race Finish

A stray husky with zero athletic credentials became the unexpected star of the Winter Olympics on Wednesday when it wandered onto the cross-country course in Tesero during a women’s team sprint qualifying race.

The enthusiastic canine spotted two skiers approaching the finish line and decided to join the action, sniffing around before racing across the line ahead of the athletes to the wild delight of spectators.

Timekeepers preparing for a photo finish captured the dog crossing the line, and officials eventually retrieved the tail-wagging interloper.

The moment quickly went viral, with social media falling in love with the four-legged “competitor” who stole the show without breaking a sweat.

While the husky won’t advance to the next round, it has already claimed the gold medal for hearts and entertainment at the Games.
