Surprise 4-legged Olympic competitor wows cross-country fans - NPR

Unexpected Olympic Star Steals the Show

In a surprising twist at the Winter Olympics cross-country skiing event, a four-legged athlete named Nazgul dashed onto the course, captivating fans worldwide. This two-year-old Czechoslovakian wolfdog, residing at a nearby bed and breakfast, sprinted alongside skiers during the qualifying race, chasing a sliding track camera before crossing the finish line with competitors. Athletes like Croatia's Tena Hadzic were stunned, wondering if they were hallucinating the majestic creature bounding through the snow.

Nazgul's Heartwarming Backstory

Nazgul's owners explained he was unusually restless that morning, crying as they left, simply eager to join the excitement. Far from aggressive, the wolfdog added charm to the competition, pursuing speedy skiers like old pals. Greek skier Konstantina Charalampidou even joked about her sudden fame, wishing she could pet the elusive star who vanished post-race. Unlike chaotic past Olympic mishaps, such as wild dogs derailing a 1904 marathon runner, Nazgul stayed on track, enhancing the event's joy.

A Four-Legged Legend is Born

Nazgul's unsanctioned sprint turned a routine qualifier into viral magic, proving animals can ignite Olympic spirit. Fans adore this wolfdog Olympian, whose pure enthusiasm reminds us why we love sportsβ€”unpredictable, thrilling moments that unite us all.
