Europe’s toughest dogsled race | DW Documentary

The Finnmarksløpet in Norway is the longest and toughest dogsled race in Europe. Among this year’s competitors are Ben Voigt from Germany and 20-year-old native Hanna Lyrek. It’s a race that is always full of surprises and setbacks.
Participants face freezing temperatures, stormy weather and a lack of sleep. The Finnmarksløpet is to the Norwegians what the Tour de France is to the French, and it’s broadcast live on TV. Once they start out, the competitors or "mushers” only have their Alaskan huskies for company, and have to decide when to take breaks. Each team can have up to 14 dogs, with at least six having to make it to the finish. Given the tough conditions, Ben Voigt trains with his pack every day from August through late May. The German started mushing ten years ago after moving to Norway. He and his wife have 35 dogs in total at their home in Langfjordbotn.
Hanna Lyrek is a natural-born musher, having learned the art from her mother. Hanna competed in her first competition at the age of four - on her own. In 2018 she became the youngest ever entrant in the Finnmarksløpet, and this year she was among the favorites. Now 20, she’s among the best in the world - and her talents have also earned her welcome sponsorship.
This report follows the two mushers during training and the big event itself. They tell us about the vital relationships to their trusty animals, and the importance of adapting to their needs. Will they make it to the end of the grueling endurance race? And who will finish first?

NO ONE IS FORCING THESE DOGS TO RUN. They have been bred for this type of thing (double coats, tough cardiovascular systems, endurance) if you actually listened you'd hear them explain that in the beginning of this video. dogs have been used to pull sleds for generations if there were any serious issues with all this it would be stopped by now🙄🙄

So if you train 5 days a week you run about 3-10 hours a day. So you have no time do anithing else but the dogs. So that means that you need big team to do that work. So still I have questions.

    Japan has done documentary about it, many dogs are hurt, bleeding on the feet, because they stepped on sharp ice, stone & frozen grass. They are too tried, too cold and feel sick. Many can't even eat after the race because they are too exhausted. Some dogs are too tire to move in the middle of the race, but all the dogs are connected together, they are dragged and forced to complete the race. If you want to win the race, you have to force the dogs to run under extremely bad weather, some dogs suffer from frozen injury on the ear tips, penis & tail.

    1)an ethical musher will NOT keep a dog running that is unable to do so. The dogs that are ill or have developed physical problems are unhooked from the team and ride in the sled. 2) Dogs DO NOT cut their paws on rocks, as they wear booties to prevent such injuries. 3) therevare mandatory veterinary exams along the race course. If the vets are cincernedcabout any dog's health or condition, the dig us pulled from the team. 4) the dogs generate so much body heat while running, it is impossible for them to get frostbite on their ears, nose, or tails. Did you not see the amount of fur the sled dogs have? Not only do they have a longer top coat, they also have a thick, dense undercoat. Quite obviously, the Japanese production was NOT filmed at a race such as this one in Norway nor the Iditarod in Alaska.

    These dogs have double coats, as an owner of double coated dogs I know they hate the heat and much prefer colder conditions, here in Norway during the winter time with indoor heating and being inside they have trouble coping with the heat the same with summer, and they actually prefer a room with windows open even if it's - 20 degrees outside otherwise the are panting continously which stresses them out.

    If the dogs don't want to run, they won't. I remember one of the top competitors from the Iditarod had to stop and take an extended break because his dogs would not run. And they absolutely take breaks within those 12 hours.
