LONDON  MADRID

The Greyhound is a very old breed of dog, originally used for coursing (hunting) until the beginning of the 20th century, when modern Greyhound racing was introduced into the United States and England. A Greyhound can reach a full speed of 70 Km per hour (43 mph) within 30 meters

 

Every weekend at the Wimbledon Greyhounds Stadium (the only one "alive" in London) Greyhounds race for the delight of thousands of spectators that come from diverse backgrounds, ages and likes. When the green flag comes down and the dogs stomp onto the race track chasing a mechanical hare under the hopeful gaze of the shouting viewers and for one night everything is allowed.
