The youngest contestant?
Ruslan Levsha from Latvia is one of the championships youngest contestant. He is only 15 years of age, but this is nevertheless his second time around in a world championship!
He competes with his dog Laima, a 5 year old Shetland sheepdog. Laima is Ruslan's first dog, and he has trained her from the very beginning.
So far he is enjoying Norway, and is excited about being her. He comes from Riga, the capital of Latvia, and tells that almost everybody that are active in the sport lives in the city. He is also one of the youngest contestants at home, and starts in competitions at least once a month.
Ruslan is going for the championship title, nothing less, and we wish him the best of luck!
