This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

Olympics: The ban for Vladyslav Heraskevych 🇺🇦 was unlawful as Mark Orth states in @faznet.bsky.social. He reminds readers that the Int.
