Just one week lies between the final of European Open in Austria and the Border Collie Classics in Slovakia. Many teams used the geographical location to combine these two events together. That was the reason why the competition was considerably tight this year. The on-the-spot audience and the others in front of the live stream were satisfied with firstclass agility. Especially the run of the winners – Tereza Kralova and Say – will be remembered by many people. The victory at the Border Collie Classics should be balm for their soul, after unsuccessful European Open last week. Although the lead with 0.45 seconds in front ofAnne Lenz and Itzi Bitzi was rather small. Anyway, the first four teams were all within one second. And places second to fourth were separated only by 0.07 seconds. The exciting and final-worthy course by Veronika Herendy made the individual final even more gripping. Third was Lisa Frick with Jack, who confirmed their good shape with this result. The unlucky fourth of today was Stanislav Kurochkin with Zippy. In the end, the Russian missed the third place by 0.03 seconds, or practically nothing.

The Border Collie Classics rounded off with a team competition, which is a bit in the shade of the individual tournament. Several teams dodge the double burden and compete just in the individual competition. The first place in the team competition is taken by the Czech team. Without the most successful Czech – Tereza Kralova. After the first place is the well-known as strong competitor in team competitions – French team. Third, surprisingly, the Japanese.
