A 74-year-old man from Germany swam the 18.5 kilometre Strait of
Gibraltar in four hours and nine minutes, foreign media reports.

Konrad Euler joins club of about 300 swimmers who have conquered
the strait.

The 74-year-old says it was very cold. In contrast to most strait
swimmers, Euler did not wear a neoprene wetsuit and braved water
temperatures of 16 to 18 degrees Celsius.

The retired doctor trained two years for the swim and combated a
shoulder injury that delayed his crossing attempt.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
