Rambo runs around Austria
Styrian extreme athlete and mountain runner Andreas Ropin completed his circumnavigation of Austria on Friday. Near Großgmain at the foot of the Untersberg mountain, he crossed the finish line after 72 days and more than 3,000 kilometers.
The running shoes now already look miserable, the extreme athlete himself happy and heavily marked after 120,000 meters of altitude.
He has often spent the night in the open, was 10 to 13 hours a day on the road, gnats, meter-high nettle forests, in between he runs out of supplies in his backpack, heat, cold, snow, ice plates, wind and wet feet are the companions: "Then I had large blisters with inflammation, plus nail bed inflammation. I thought about giving up between 15 and 20 times, easy."
This time, too, Ropin perseveres, adding to his list of passed adventures. He´s used to sporting extremes.
Circumnavigating the Austrian national border was his heart´s desire - and also logistically exciting: "In the beginning, I ran very precisely along the border stones. I also had the routing on my watch. In the mountains, I always drew out the route. I suffered the most in the flat regions."
When you suffer so much, experience so much, the question of why now comes quickly ? He is a "dry alcoholic," Ropin emphasizes. And he wants to motivate other people who are in crisis to turn around and live well, he says."
In the last 72 days, the Styrian missed the birth of his granddaughter. She was there as the youngest fan at the finish. After the hugs for his loved ones, extreme athlete Andreas Ropin was looking forward to a few other things during the exertions: "Having breakfast with my wife in peace and above all dry feet in the long run. 72 days of wet feet every day, that's really not pleasant."

Time for a French extra: Severine
"Un banc, un arbre, une rue" ("A Bench, a Tree, a Street") was the winning song of the Eurovision Song Contest 1971 performed in French by French singer Severine, representing Monaco.
The song is a classic French ballad, with the lyric focusing on the loss of childhood innocence, and people following their dreams. The opening lines to the chorus translate as "we all have a bench, a tree, a street / Where we cherished our dreams / a childhood that has been too short".

Severine recorded the song in four languages (French, English (as "Chance in Time"), German and Italian). Despite the existence of an Anglophone version, however, it was the original French version which reached the UK Top 10, a rare non-Anglophone hit in that market.
