Weronika Jurek<br />
My name is Weronika<br />
Jurek, I’m 22 years old<br />
and have been doing<br />
Canicross for 5<br />
years now.<br />
A few years ago my sister bought a<br />
Siberian husky and I wanted to provide<br />
him with the physical exercise<br />
he needed, because walking was<br />
not enough for him. My friend<br />
asked me if I wanted to take part in<br />
a Canicross event she organised. At<br />
irst I wasn’t sure if it’s a good idea,<br />
but she managed to convince me. I<br />
tried and immediately fell in love<br />
with this <strong>sport</strong>. I’m amazed by the<br />
<strong>dog</strong>s that are taking part in such<br />
championships, especially by European<br />
Hounds, because of how smart<br />
and eager to work they are. In 2011<br />
my biggest dream came true. The<br />
moment when I got Kira (European<br />
Hound) has changed my life. Every<br />
time we take part in a <strong>sport</strong> event,<br />
it is very emotional for both of us.<br />
Every championship is different and<br />
we are still learning from each<br />
other. I’m always concerned about<br />
the race, and I know that she is, too.<br />
When we are about to start, she<br />
waits nervously for me to say “go”.<br />
But once we run, we try to leave<br />
those feelings behind us and work<br />
together as a team. The trust that<br />
we have for each other is extremely<br />
important in this kind of <strong>sport</strong>. At<br />
present, we start in the categories<br />
Canicross and Scooter. We take part<br />
in national as well as <strong>international</strong><br />
championships, European Championships<br />
and World Championships.<br />
Every little success is very important<br />
for us.<br />
This <strong>sport</strong> has become our way of<br />
life.<br />
