Shaul Ladany - the Great Survivor

Sporting Witness

Available for over a year

Shaul Ladany is a long-distance Israeli race-walker who set world records that stand to this day. But, even more remarkably, he survived a childhood in the Belsen concentration camp and then the terrorist attack on the Israeli team at the Munich Olympics in 1972. Shaul Ladany talks to Will Yates. Picture: Shaul Ladany in action at the 1972 Olympics (from his personal archive)
