"As a student, I liked to play soccer and basketball, and I also enjoyed trying out the various disciplines within track and field. My focus became long distance running, but I competed occasionally in pole-vaulting. There was a year when I ran five times a week, but my talent was limited; I was occasionally well placed at town-wide events, but never in regional competitions. Still, I have maintained a passion for endurance sports until the present day. When I was around thirty, I met my own personal challenge and finished a few marathons under three hours, and I have completed many long bicycle tours."
We're not talking about Lance Armstrong here... of course, not a pole-vault champion either.
Surprising burst of sports talent from the Nobel Laureate in Physics, Dr. Wolfgang Ketterle, an alumnus of TU-Munich.
i'm totally smitten by the ability of people in Germany to be so gifted in the sciences, yet maintaining passion for living a balanced healthy life through sports and weekend activities!
