Schnauzer Macho and speed skating champion Konrad Niedźwiedzki have been friends for 10 years, so it’s only natural they have their own routine. Although Macho is Konrad's best supporter, he really doesn't like ice.

The title of this story speaks for itself, yet we do invite you to see why alpine skiing Šárka Strachová cannot imagine a life without a pet. She grew up surrounded by pets, so she’s got really good reasons why having a pet is one of the best thing you can do.

Julia Dujmovits and Anke Woehrer have something is common besides their love for snowboarding. They both adore their Siberian Huskies! Kira and Jaws are the lucky, spoiled "children" of our athletes and they bring their owners a lot of joy!

For Anke Woehrer, Jaws, her loving Siberian Husky, is more than just a friend! Husky Jaws is the one who motivates her even when she doesn't feel like training, recharges her batteries and helps her through tough times. Let's see what Anke has to say about Husky Jaws' constant help! 

So, now that you've already met Siberian Husky Jaws, Anke Woehrer's amazing friend, let's find out how he gets along with people in general. Later we'll see what Jaws and Anke love to do together and whether Anke can imagine her life without a pet. 

It took Pets of Champions' team a trip to Burgenland (Austria) to meet Julia Dujmovits, the first Gold Olympic medalist in Snowboarding and her favorite Siberian Husky Kira! They may not spend too much time together since Julia's training takes her all over the world, but they still have the same routine every time they meet.

Konrad Niedźwiedzki and his mini Schnauzer called Macho share a long-time friendship. In Konrad's family Macho is the one that always makes people laugh.  

Ringo, the loving German Shepherd, was Julia Dujmovits' childhood friend and even though many years have passed, the great moments they spent together are just unforgettable for Julia. The bond with your first pet, especially as child, is unique, and everyone who has experienced it will agree.

An Olympic alpine skiing champion such as Šárka Strachová, just had to have an equally special companion and best friend named Baloo, a truly loving Rhodesian Ridgeback dog who doesn't like rain and loves to sleep in his own bed. 

Julia Dujmovits is a snowboarding champion despite of the fact that her home town is in the low lands, so not too many glaciers around to train on. But this did not stop her from dreaming, training and finding new, creative ways to reach her goal! She found lots of ways to train during summer or while on a holiday apart from the ones compulsory for becoming an Olympic Gold medalist.

Childhood dreams do come true, yet the journey of getting where we want is not an easy one. Anke Woehrer dreamt of becoming a snowboarding Olympic Champion and she did it. Find out what is her advice for those thinking of choosing a sports career.  

To become the best in the world requires hours and years of dedication, hard work and willingness to overcome any kind of obstacles. Let's listen to Konrad Niedźwiedzki sharing his experience and advice on what it takes to become an Olympic champion.

Numerologists would argue that 11 is a power number and those born on such a day inspire people and that their presence is galvanizing. Maybe this is why it is not a coincidence that Šárka Strachová, born on February 11th, holds many of those great traits and, who knows, this could be one of the reasons behind her winning an Olympic medal in alpine skiing.

Anke Woehrer is one of Germany’s top athletes and the proud owner, amongst other things, of an Olympic Silver medal for Parallel Slalom in Sochi, 2014. She lives with her husband in a beautiful Bavarian city, in Bernau am Chiemsee, sharing their lovely home with the one and only Jaws, a 5-year-old blue-eyed Siberian Husky, which Anke “adopted” by marriage.
