A Lot of Sport

Sundays are normally days with a lot of sport events, but today it was more than usual. There were two games in the Euro 2008 football tournament, there was the Canadian Grand Prix in Formula 1, and there was the final game in the French Open Grand Slam tournament in tennis. We could follow the Grand Prix on one TV channel at the same time as the first football game was aired on another. Robert Kubica from Poland won in Canada in his German BMW Sauber car, just before Germany played Poland in the Euro 2008. In the earlier football game, Croatia won against Austria. In Paris, Raphael Nadal won his fourth French Open title in a row - he has thus won as many French Open in a row as Björn Borg did, but Borg won six titles altogether.

Over all, it must have been a great Sunday for people more into sports than I am. For me, dog shows are still more important and the most prominent dog show this year is yet to come: the World Dog Show in Stockholm. I will be one of a great many Shiba Inus shown there. I hope I will do good, but it will be a fierce competition. Regardless of the result, it will be a great experience to be there.
