THE SPORT-INSPIRING MAGAZINE
ISPO.com is the first and only megatrend-oriented sports and outdoor magazine for everyone who has long known that sports and outdoor are more than just exercise and equipment. ISPO.com is not a medium for moral preachers, but for people who inspire and seek inspiration - real gamechangers.
Heroes can make us dream, push us forward and reveal previously unknown perspectives. That's what we're aiming for with our portrait series on the heroes of sport.
He is one of the best rock climbers in the world and, with his ambition and discipline, was the first climber to climb an on-sight climbing route with a grade of 9a - so in the first attempt: Alex Megos.
As a high-altitude mountaineer who was the first woman to climb all 14 eight-thousanders without bottled oxygen, Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner is an exceptional athlete. However, her passion is not only for the eight-thousanders. The Austrian is also inspired by exchange and cooperation with other people. Above all, gratitude, inner passion and a respectful approach to nature are at the centre of her life.
As a ski mountaineer, Spaniard Marc Pinsach has celebrated successes in classics such as the Pierra Menta, Patrouille des Glaciers and Mezzalana. With his career in ski mountaineering coming to an end in 2021, Marc is now concentrating fully on trail running and living out his love of nature on long runs in the mountains.
Higher and faster, better: This is the trend for exceptional skyrunner Denisa Dragomir. The Romanian runner won the Skyrunning World Series in 2021 and her success curve is just as steep as her mountain runs.
