The finishers in the Olympic<\/a> women\u2019s team sprint cross-country race in Tesero on Wednesday did not just include humans, but a dog too.<\/p>\n

As the last few athletes<\/a> wrapped up their race, a dog wandered onto the course and sprinted across the finish line with them, much to the delight of the crowd. The dog initially took in the scene as it entered the course and only took off toward the finish line once it noticed the racers.<\/p>\n

The dog’s name is Nazgul, and his owners are related to an event official, according to NPR.<\/a> Nazgul is a 2-year-old Czechoslovakian wolfdog.<\/p>\n

“He was crying this morning more than normal because he was seeing us leaving \u2014 and I think he just wanted to follow us,”\u00a0the owners, who were granted anonymity, told NPR. “He always looks for people.”<\/p>\n

Nazgul\u2019s surprise appearance<\/a> did not appear to have any major effect on the race as the top medal contenders had already crossed the finish line. The timekeepers even captured a picture of the dog crossing the finish line.<\/p>\n

While Nazgul\u2019s appearance on the track did not have a major impact on the race, it did have an impact on the racers\u2019 mental state.<\/p>\n

“I was like, ‘Am I hallucinating?'” Croatian skier Tena Hadzic said, according to NPR. “I don’t know what I should do, because maybe he could attack me, bite me.”<\/p>\n

Hadzic did say that she likely lost a few seconds because she was so thrown off but said it wasn\u2019t that big of a deal because she wasn\u2019t in medal contention.<\/p>\n
