Also today everything is very
well organized.The second heat took off at 9 am as planned.
Prime minister of Slovakia Mikulaš Dzurinda has accepted the
invitation and assisted at the start line. President of Slovakia
Ivan Gašparovič and minester of economy Ivan Mikloš have enjoyed
the atmosphere of the race so much, they decided to be a part
of it today as well.
There was at least 25 thousand
people who came to support the mushers and enjoy the race.
Fresh snow has made the trail
very soft and much tougher today. It is possible that by tommorow
as much as 40 cm of snow will fall on to the trail. The ones
winning this race will be really the top mushers.

On Thursday, 10th of February
the 7th World Championship F.I.S.T.C. 2005 Sprint - Pure breads
was officially opened. The Sleddog racing has come to Donovaly.
Grand opening brought the history and the flavor of Alaska
to Slovakia once again.
The Major of Donovaly Miroslav
Daňo, Slovak minister of economy Ivan Mikloš, sponsors and
F.I.S.T.C delegates have warmly welcomed all nations participating
at this year's race. The organizers have prepared a wonderful
show, which brought to us a look at the history of mushing
and Slovak folklore.
There are 160 mushers competing
and 650 dogs running this year. They are top mushers representing
12 countries. Donovaly has 120cm of snow and the trail is
well maintained.
The first heat was at 9 am,
Friday the 11th. Thanks to the organizers everything was well
prepared and controlled at the Start and Finish. The president
of Slovak republic Ivan Gašparovič was a guest of honor and
personally assisted at the start line. This left the delegates
of F.I.S.T.C. and many others highly impressed. The first
day of the World Championship went very smooth. There were
no complaints raised so far towards the first heat. Mushers
were hugging their dogs and shaking each other's hands passed
the finish line. The air was filled with healthy competition,
excitement and barking of the dogs.
The race
has began at 9am.
