A comical scene unfolded at the Winter Olympics in Italy.
Details: Right in the midst of the alpine skiing competition, a dog darted onto the course. Judging by his confident sprint, the spirit of a true slalom champion seemed to possess him—he dashed through every gate and made it all the way to the finish line, evading all attempts by stadium staff to catch him.
The efforts of the broadcast crew deserve special mention. While the slope staff frantically tried to apprehend the shaggy intruder, the broadcast director kept his cool and expertly followed the canine's run down the course.
Despite the commotion, the incident ended on a positive note: the dog successfully completed his run and disappeared into the finish area.
Reminder: A Norwegian biathlete won Olympic bronze and admitted to cheating on his girlfriend.
