Juraj Koreň made history by becoming the first Slovak to reach the finish line of the extreme Red Bull X-Alps paragliding race. He covered 295 km on foot and 1,400 km by air across six Alpine countries in 10 days. Despite unpredictable conditions–including storms, hail, and strong winds–he covered more than 100 km every day, making him the Slovak record holder. Despite injuries, a torn parachute, and exhaustion, he fulfilled his lifelong dream of racing with the elite of this extreme sport.
