Silver medallist with the Gold medallist behind

These dogs were seen at the end of Day 2 of a 3-day event

Having just carried a 'body' along the course, this French fire fighter had to scale the wall.

He prepares for his next challenge

With B.A. set on his back he sets off on his run

First he must erect the ladder

Then it's a climb to the top with 15kg in each hand

Having reached the top, he must then hoist up 2 lengths of hose tied together

His team mates offer encouragement

Have completed all tasks, he makes a final sprint to the finishing line
