Shaul Paul Ladany, born April 2, 1936, is an Israeli racewalker and two-time Olympian. He set and still holds the world record in the 50-mile walk, and the Israeli national record in the 50-kilometer walk. He is also a former world champion in the 100-kilometer walk. Ladany survived the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1944, when he was eight years old. In 1972, he survived the Munich Massacre. He is now a Professor of Industrial Engineering and Management at Ben Gurion University, has authored over a dozen books and 120 scholarly papers, and speaks nine languages. He lives in Omer, Israel. Asked if it would be fair to call him the ultimate survivor, Ladany laughed and answered: "I don't know about that. What I can say is that in my life there has never been a dull moment."
