Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner (* 13. Dezember 1970 in Kirchdorf an der Krems, Oberösterreich) ist eine österreichische Extrembergsteigerin.
Die diplomierte Krankenschwester lebt seit ihrer Besteigung des Nanga Parbat im Jahre 2003 ausschließlich vom Expeditionsbergsteigen. Als Profibergsteigerin ist sie zwischen den Expeditionssaisonen auch mit Multivisionsshows unterwegs. Seit Sommer 2007 ist sie mit ihrem Bergpartner Ralf Dujmovits verheiratet und wohnt in Bühlertal im Schwarzwald.

Im Mai 2007 wurde sie bei dem Versuch, den Dhaulagiri zu besteigen, von einem Schneebrett erfasst und kurzzeitig unter der Lawine begraben. Sie konnte sich selbst befreien, während die spanischen Bergsteiger Santiago Sagaste und Ricardo Valencia, die an gleicher Stelle biwakierten, ums Leben kamen.[1]

Im Frühjahr 2008 startete sie erneut zum Dhaulagiri, den sie am 1. Mai 2008 schließlich erfolgreich bestieg.[2] Damit hat sie nun elf der vierzehn Achttausender erklommen und führt die Liste der erfolgreichsten Höhenbergsteigerinnen zusammen mit Edurne Pasaban und Nives Meroi an. [3]

Um alle 8000er bestiegen zu haben, fehlen Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner noch Mount Everest, Lhotse und K2. (Stand 1.September 2008)

Mark Beaumont is a record-breaking long-distance cyclist. He holds the record for cycling round the world, completing his 18,297 miles (29,446 km) route on 15 February 2008, having taken 194 days and 17 hours (the previous best being 276 days 19 hours 15 minutes).

Growing up on a farm in the Scottish highlands, Beaumont was home-schooled until the age of 14. Aged just 15, he completed a solo ride the length of Great Britain from John o’Groats to Land’s End.

To qualify for the world record, Beaumont was required to travel a route that passes through two approximately antipodal points. The route began and ended in Paris, France, taking in 20 countries across Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australasia and North America. The bicycle used for the attempt was a Koga-Miyata with a Rohloff internal gearing hub. As well as the bike, he was carrying 30 kilograms (66 lb) of equipment such as tools, cameras and other equipment to support him on the journey.

Beaumont endured many hardships during his journey. In in Lafayette, Louisiana he was involved in a collision with a car and robbed later the same day, and elsewhere struggled with illnesses such as dysentery.

As a result of breaking the World Record, Mark Beaumont has raised £18,000 for charity.

Beaumont’s video diaries of the journey formed the basis of a documentary, “The Man who Cycled the World”, which was broadcast by the BBC in August 2008.

Yes, We Can! - Si, Se Puede!

Song & video, featuring a star cast, by Will.i.am of The Black Eyed Peas. Inspired by Barack Obama’s ‘Yes We Can’ speech.

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.

Yes we can.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.

Yes we can.

It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.

Yes we can.

It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.

Yes we can to justice and equality.

Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.

Yes we can heal this nation.

Yes we can repair this world.

Yes we can.

We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics…they will only grow louder and more dissonant ……….. We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check. We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.

Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea –

Yes. We. Can.
