Heinrich Popow in the Beurer Hall
Gold medalist and world record holder Heinrich Popow as guest at the Radspieler Zentrum für Mobilität in the Beurer Hall
"My Path to Gold" – from the life of a sprinter
Heinrich Popov is a gold medalist of the Paralympic Games in London 2012, in the most prestigious event, the 100-metre sprint, and is one of the most successful Paralympic athletes worldwide. On 18.09.2013 at 4pm, Heinrich Popow will be at the Radspieler Zentrum für Mobilität in the Beurer Halle and will talk about his life as a leg-amputee athlete and report about the Paralympics. Fans and those interested will have the opportunity to ask individual questions in an open discussion, followed by an autograph session.
Heinrich Popow’s winning time of 12.40 seconds in London best attests to the fact that it is possible to compete at a professional level, despite handicaps. As ambassador to the Paralympics, he represents Ottobock, a medical technology company which has been sending a team of orthopedic technicians to actively accompany and support the Paralympic games since Seoul 1988. Working in close collaboration with Heinrich Popow, Ottobock has now developed the first sports prosthesis for recreational sports – the 3S80. The 3S80 can be used very flexibly by both beginners and the advanced, starting with treadmills in fitness studios, or when Nordic walking on the most diverse surfaces, and on to jogging on streets, fields and forest tracks. Similarly, every form of athletic sports related to running is possible -- whether it is the long jump, high jump or the javelin throw – the sports prosthesis enables possibilities for leg amputees which were previously nonexistent.
Release endorphins and build up new reserves; nothing can replace outdoor exercise as a perfect counterbalance to everyday life. Using the 3S80, it is now possible to deliberately take time for oneself, to improve strength and mobility and to enhance general well-being.
Remember, running is more than a sport – running is vitality! Heinrich Popow will demonstrate this on 18.09.2013 and introduce the 3S80, which can now also be ordered through Radspieler.
