Happy Birthday, Boris!
The oldest participant on the VII International Elbrus Race was Boris Korshunov – he selebrated his 77th birthday in the day of the race on August 31! And it was the day he climbed Elbrus in 77th time! This event was the point of interest for MEDIA – the reports were made by ITAR TASS NEWSWIRE and Government TV channel. Boris’ excellent sports form and an amazing biography made a deep impression on television crew. Boris participates in Elbrus Races since 2006, this race was the 5th for him. Participants who saw how Boris run the route, admired him. Boris is a well-known high-altitude mountain climber –and also permanent participant of ski marathons, soame years ago he won the European title The Iron Man for the victory in a series of ski marathons in her age group.
We congratulated Boris and gave him a present from sponsor NPF BASK. He answered: "While you think about your future, you won't be old! But if you can't imagine your future - you're old already!"
Boris has a lot of future plans...
And for the Elbrus Race 2013 too!
Many happy returns, Boris!
