Martin Strel is not an athlete. He is a fifty-plus, big bellied Slovenian man who drives whilst drunk and eats horse burgers. He's also an endurance swimmer, conquering the worlds largest rivers, the Mississippi, the Danube and the Yangtze to draw attention to environmental issues. The soon to be released documentary Big River Man chronicles Strel's 66 day swim up the entire Amazon. LINK (Via: Caught By the River)
