| "This year's venue of the dog Olympics 2004 is Sancti Petri Beach..." | "... the athletes are ready to go and are prepared to show their very best performances..." |
|
 |
| "...fully
concentrated and with sharp senses." |
"Before the actual start, one should take the time to familiarise oneself with the local weather and the conditions at the stadium!" |
|
 |
|
"... hard
training was necessary to present oneself in top-form here today..."
|
"...
The long waiting periods can start getting to you after a while..."
|
|
 |
| "...In
such situations distraction is the best remedy - for example taking
a cooling yet invigorating paw dip..." |
"...
or having a quick and strengthening protein snack...." |
|
 |
| "Last
port of call is passing through doping control... " |
"... before finally entering the stadium with the other athletes..." |
|
 |
| "...
On your marks... set...." |
"....'Red
Namib Sands Amani' had a bit of a slow start..." |
|
 |
| "...
but in the first bend he is catching up and is getting increeeeedibly
fast...but will he keep his speed?!" |
"......
YEEESSSS!!!! He is reaching the finish line just slightly ahead of his
competitors...What a close call!!" |
 |
 |
| "Unfortunately,
relay had to be cancelled due to a lack of interest and participation..."
|
"However,
the next discipline was quickly agreed upon..." |
 |
 |
| "...Wrestling!!!"
|
"... the inclusion of unusual elements into a performance can sometimes positively influence the jury and result in higher scores..." |
 |
 |
|
"The participation in water sports competitions..." |
"...requires
a strong combination of being fanatic of water and having absolute
wave control. These factors often determine who will take home a medal
at the end of the day..."
|
 |
 |
|
"...this time
it sadly wasn't quite enough for a medal for Amani... Silver goes
to England...."
|
"...and Gold
to Germany... (even if it isn't always begrudged to the actual winners...)"
|
 |
 |
|
"... in the
end, it is being there which counts...".
|
"During the
concluding dressage..."
|
 |
 |
|
"...everyone
was able to boost their total scores..."
|
"Great Games!!!
... No doubt that the athletes will be there again for the next competitions
with equal enthusiasm and happy hearts! "
