GABRIEL ARRIAGADA (CHILE) 
I’m Gabriel Arriagada Osses, FCI Agility Judge. I live in Temuco, in southern Chile. I began training in this sport in 2004 and made my competitive debut in 2005. Over these 22 years, I have been part of the National Team for FCI championships, winning the Team and individual small Championship and Individual Bronze Medal between 2022 and 2025. As a judge, since 2012 I have been fortunate enough to officiate at various events both in Chile and abroad. I have judged countless regional and national tournaments in Spain, Italy, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, El Salvador, Sweden, Germany, Norway, Finland, France, the USA, and Chile. Among my achievements, I have served as a judge at important events such as: the Americas and Caribbean Agility Championship in 2019 and 2023; the RSCE Spanish Team Championship in 2021; the RFEC Spanish Individual and Team Championship in 2021; the Proseccup Italy 2026; the Viking Cup Denmark 2026; the EO 2026 qualifiers for Norway, Finland, Spain, and Italy; and the European Open 2026 in France. I have always felt a great responsibility in my work as an Agility judge. That is why I hope to give my best for RIALP 2026 and that we enjoy a few days full of challenges and smiles, so that we can have a celebration from beginning to end.
JAN EGIL (NORWAY)

ELPIDA ISMAEL (GREECE) 
Hello, I’m Elpida!
I’m an agility judge, athlete, and coach.
I am one of the first people that started agility in Greece, back in 2012 with my first dog, Lisa, a yellow Labrador.
I’m a member of the Greek National team since 2018 with my Border Collies, Diesel and Astra and I have been to 6x AWCs and 6x EOs. I’m also 2x GR Agility Champion with Diesel.
As a judge, I love designing courses that combine skill, handling, and speed — always taking safety into consideration. Dogs are my top priority when I design, and I take extra care to make their lines fluent and safe, while still including technical and handling challenges.
I love watching the teamwork, connection, and joy between handlers and their dogs out on the course.
I’m so looking forward to judge RIALP alongside some amazing colleagues! See you all there, for an amazing agility week!
ALEJANDRO SALAS (SPAIN) 
Soy Alejandro Salas. Comencé en el agility en 2013 con mi primer perro, un mestizo que me abrió la puerta a este deporte. Desde entonces he competido con cuatro perros, un mestizo, Border Collies y Working Cocker, y el año que viene comenzaré una nueva etapa con otra Border Collie.
A lo largo de estos años he tenido la oportunidad de competir en WAO, AWC y EO, y desde 2022 soy juez internacional. En este tiempo he tenido la suerte de viajar y conocer lugares y personas increíbles, llevando mis diseños y pasión por el agility a más de 15 países diferentes.
Para mí es un verdadero orgullo juzgar el próximo año en la Rialp Summer Agility Cup, compartiendo días con jueces de enorme nivel y disfrutando de muchos competidores llegados de tantos lugares del mundo.
Estoy seguro de que será una auténtica fiesta del agility.
¡Nos vemos muy pronto en Rialp!
