Philipp Pflieger war bei Olympia 2016 der schnellste deutsche Marathonläufer. Ein Jahr später sorgte er für Schlagzeilen, als er beim Berlin-Marathon seine Kräfte überschätzte und das Rennen orientierungslos abbrechen musste. Daraus hat er viel gelernt, nicht nur über die Königsdisziplin des Laufens, sondern auch über sich selbst. Sein nächstes Ziel: Olympia 2020 in Tokio. In seinem Hörbuch nimmt Pflieger uns mit hinter die Kulissen des professionellen Marathonlaufens. Er erzählt über die Faszination des Laufens, lässt uns Siege und Niederlagen miterleben, und gibt Tipps, was Amateure von den Profis lernen können.

After enduring a turbulent year in 1995, Vince McMahon was looking to rebuild his sinking empire in 1996. He had high hopes for a new World Wrestling Federation flag bearer, Shawn Michaels - the man he was looking to as the leader of the WWF’s "New Generation". With Michaels supported by a strong cast of established characters, some old faces, and an influx of new blood, McMahon fully expected the WWF to dominate rivals WCW in the burgeoning Monday Night War. It did not work out that way.

Throughout the history of the WWF, there have been times of prosperity and times of hardship, cycles that shape the ethos of the company by forcing changes to its infrastructure and on-screen direction. The one constant throughout three decades of change is Vincent Kennedy McMahon, the stalwart puppet-master who captains the ship. Unflinching, thick-skinned, and domineering, McMahon has ultimately outlasted all of his competition and come out on top of every wrestling war he has waged. In 1995, he very nearly lost.

Chris Bonington è uno dei più grandi alpinisti al mondo. A più di ottant’anni, non smette ancora di affrontare le cime e se stesso: la montagna è per lui sfida, ricerca del limite, senso della vita.
