Kickan Nikolic and Red Royalty's Magiska Million (Troll)
Team
Experience with FCI Rally Obedience
I have been competing in FCI Rally since it officially became an FCI sport. This will be Troll's very first championship. We started training together when he was a puppy, and he qualified for the Swedish National Team on our very first attempt – before he had even turned two years old. Troll actually celebrated his second birthday after the team selection, which makes this achievement extra special.
What I love most about FCI Rally Obedience
What I love most about FCI Rally is the combination of precision, teamwork and joy. The sport is challenging and constantly pushes us to improve, while still allowing the dog's personality and enthusiasm to shine through. I especially enjoy the technical exercises, the precision required, and the feeling of true partnership when everything comes together in the ring.
Best Result achieved with my Dog
Qualifying for the Swedish National Team for the 2026 World Championship on our very first attempt is definitely our greatest achievement so far.
Other Dog Sports I do
Rally Obedience is our one and only sport, and our main focus has always been rally. Everything we do in training is aimed at developing our teamwork and becoming better together in the rally ring.
Especially looking forward to
As this is Troll's first championship, I am most looking forward to sharing this experience with him and seeing what we can achieve together on the world's biggest stage. I am also excited to meet competitors from all over the world and to be part of the amazing atmosphere that international championships create.
