BBC World Service - Sporting Witness, Shaul Ladany - the Great Survivor

The Israeli race-walker who survived the Holocaust and the Munich Olympics shootings

The Israeli race-walker who survived the Holocaust and the Munich Olympics shootings in 1972.

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.
