TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY CHARLY WEGMAN Israeli race walker Shaul Ladany, a sporting champion who escaped a Nazi concentration camp and survived the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre, sits in front of his trophy cabinet during an interview with AFP at his home in Omer, a quiet suburb of the southern desert town of Beersheva, on April 30, 2012. To some, Israeli race walker Shaul Ladany is the ultimate survivor. This year, Ladany turned 76, but he has hardly slowed down. He celebrated the same way he does every birthday -- by walking his new age in kilometres. AFP PHOTO/JACK GUEZ (Photo by Jack GUEZ / AFP) (Photo by JACK GUEZ/AFP via Getty Images)
