Gerhard Krauss started professional running when he was 40. His son asked him to be his partner for training and preparation. Now, at the age of 74, Gerhard is able to beat his son in almost every competition. Today Gerhard feels healthier and fitter than 30 years ago. He successfully took part in over 50 marathons; his basement is stuffed with documents and cups from competitions. Newspapers and TV-stations covered stories about him and some say he is Europe’s oldest active athlete. Gerhard Krauss won the German Championship in Duathlon, the European Championship in Triathlon and he is World Champion in cross-country skiing (among the senior participants).
