CHAMPIONS
Kilian Jornet was born in Sabadell in 1987. He does
the extreme sport of skyrunning running up and down
mountains. His dad is a mountain guide and his mumy
is a mountain sports teacher, so Kilian learnt to ski when
he was one! At six he climbed a 4,000 m mountain, and
he started ski training when he was 13. Kilian won his
first skyrunning race when he was 17. He was world
champion in 2007, 2008 and 2009 and won the Ultra-
Trail du Mont-Blanc (166 km) three times before he was
25. He climbed Kilimanjaro in Africa in under six hours
(a record in 2010), and ran 190 km in
33 hours in the Himalayas near Everest,
