It was a case of dog stopped play at the World Cup Super-G event in Bormio on Thursday as the race was held up in comical circumstances.
To the amusement of competitors, a dog escaped from its owner and made its way down the slope, seamlessly dodging marshals in the process. And after reaching the bottom, he still wasn't done, turning around and heading back up in a bid to find a way off the course.
Race officials looked on helpless whilst the actual skiers were seen laughing. And the Eurosport commentator certainly saw the funny side too, describing the live action to viewers.
