Rosa Escribano (W60, ESP) and Rolf Geese (M75, GER)
The photos show Rosa Escribano at 80m Hs in Jesolo and Rolf Geese in his first decathlon discipline in Stendal, which ended with a world record. Both of them improved several world records in 2019, at WMACI 2019 in Torun in the pentathlon even at the same time.
Rosa Escribano still holds current world records in various categories (long jump, pentathlon, heptathlon). The athlete from Playas de Castellón is an example of how to overcome life-threatening diseases (tuberculosis and chronic anaemia) and return to top-level sport. In an interview of “cope.es” [# cope] she said in reference to records that she would find her highest satisfaction in doing athletics. At the WMACi 2019 in Toruń she set two world records and became world champion three times.
Rolf Geese , 16-time decathlon world champion, added in 2019 two more records (M75 pentathlon indoor, M75 decathlon) to his list of existing world records in combined events over a period of 20 years. The former lecturer at the Institute for Sports Science at the University of Göttingen wrote in his biography (http://www.results-model2010.de/RG_E.html): „Performance-oriented sport is also a source of enjoyment by itself, as nothing is more authentic than the performance which one has achieved by oneself, which is entirely based upon one´s own efforts, which demands self-discipline and for which oneself is responsible.“
