On this #throwbackthursday we want to share this photo of one of the most accomplished mountaineers in the world Reinhold #Messner from Italy. Here he is in an ad displayed in the #FilaMuseum in #Italy. Messner has made a career of making near-impossible climbs...including a May 1978 ascent of Mt Everest without supplemental oxygen. In fact he climbed 14 of the world's tallest peaks (over 8000 meters) without supplemental oxygen.... 102 years of the #Fila brand. So many amazing athletes since we started in sport in the 70s. #history #filatennis #museum #archive #athlete #mountaineer #climber #sport #everest
