Tobias Unger

There is something I genuinely admire about sprinters, and Unger fits the mould. Born in Munich in 1979, this retired German short-distance runner lived in a sport that is brutally honest, where hundredths of a second decide everything. The detail I keep returning to is that he studied at Tübingen, suggesting an athlete who trained the mind as well as the legs. German track tends to reward discipline and patience, and I picture him as exactly that sort of methodical grafter. Records fade and times get beaten, but the all-out effort of a competitive career never lies. I find that kind of dedication quietly moving.
