Part of what makes the Olympics special is the gathering of so many cultures. Each country has their own ways of celebrating their wins, but New Zealand’s tradition of the Haka may be one of the very best. The Haka started off as a war dance, originating from the country’s Indigenous Māori people. Nowadays, however, you’ll see this dance performed for a variety of occasions, including in sports. It’s fitting, then, that the Haka would be performed at the Paris Olympics. This amazing moment took place after the New Zealand women’s rugby team took home the gold after a match with Canada. This 19-12 victory marked their first gold medal at the Paris Olympics. It’s also their second straight win in Olympic competition. In other words, this incredible group of women had a lot to celebrate! To do so in a way that represents their country, they performed the Haka right after winning the gold. Watch their chilling performance in the video below. At first, the women’s chants start off on the quieter side. But then, their voices quickly raise, making the overall performance that much more emotional. This, combined with their movements, never fails to stir up a variety of emotions in viewers. This is true matter if you’re from New Zealand or somewhere on the other side of the world. New Zealand Rugby Team Delivers Chilling Haka Dance After Winning Gold Medal at the Paris Olympics “This remains, in my opinion, one of the coolest things to exist in any culture, anywhere,” someone says in the comment section of the performance, with another adding, “Goosebumps every time.” “I love that the whole world stops for the Haka performances,” a third person shares. “No matter the occasion or location on earth, we all give the respect and space for this beautiful tradition.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

When this stray dog first found himself on a stranger’s farm, he had no way of knowing he’d just wandered into the most loving home. Mark Farmer (yes, that’s his name!) was heartbroken when he saw the starving pooch walking around the property. His own dog, Luna, immediately rushed over to greet the newcomer. However, her enthusiasm may have proved a bit much for the stray, who ran off. Mark was determined to help the emaciated canine. He followed the stray dog around the farm with food and water until the hungry pup finally worked up the courage to dig in. The farmer shared some footage of the frightened animal on social media. “He won the lottery he just doesn’t know it yet,” he wrote in his caption. @markontheranch He won the lottery he just doesnt know it yet. ♬ Miracles (feat. Tina Stachowiak) – Axel Johansson In an update, Mark revealed that he eventually got the animal to come inside the house. There, he rewarded the pooch with more food. Before he could give the stray dog a permanent home on the farm, though, he needed to know more about what kind of shape he was in. So, he took him to the vet for a check-up. As he had guessed, the dog was severely underweight. He was also suffering from parasites. “We found out it wasn’t going to be easy, but I knew I couldn’t turn my back on this pup,” said Mark. @markontheranch 3 weeks into forever #rescuedog #goodboy #recovery ♬ original sound – Mark After just three weeks of living on the farm, this stray dog was starting to look much better. Not only had he put on a little weight, but he’d also been learning to make himself at home. Mark’s footage shows the dog playing, napping, and hanging out with the other pets as though he’d always lived there! According to Today, the farmer decided to name the new pup Roman. He explained that this was a clever play on words, since he’d discovered the stray dog “roaming around on my farm.” Mark is happy to report that, so far, that the pooch is having no trouble fitting in with the other critters on the property. “He has done so well with all of my other animals,” he said. “I have footage of him interacting with my baby goats, sniffing them through the fence and just acting totally fine.” We’re so glad this lucky pup stumbled upon such a wonderful new home!
