“Hein Wagner is the new owner of the world speed record for a blind, after it reached 320 km/h at the wheel of a Mercedes SL 65 AMG Black Series. That’s not the first time when Wagner breaks a record, his first success in this area took place in 2005 aboard of a Maserati Grand Sport. At the time, Hein Wagner has reached 269 km/h at the wheel of a Maserati, becoming the first South African who has a ground speed record. This time, Hein Wagner has run over 320 km / h and is the owner of the land speed world record for a blind. Hein Wagner’s new record was achieved on a runway at the international airport in Upington, South Africa. During his record attempt, Hein Wagner has run over 320 km/h several times, covering more than 800 meters and this speed before starting to reduce speed. As with any such record attempts, Hein Wagner has been monitored closely to ensure avoiding a disaster. What’s touching is that Hein Wagner wants to use funds from the registration record to donate them Vision Trust Organization. This organization aims to make technology available for blind. As for feeling he has experienced when running a 320 km/h, Hein Wagner said that this is a real obstacle to any driver, whether seen or not”.

Three disabled athletes from Spain have reached the South Pole unassisted by animals or machines, in what a Spanish newspaper said Sunday was a world first.
The three, Jesus Noriega, Eric Villalon and Xavier Valbuena, accompanied by two guides, arrived at the world's most southerly point after a 12-day journey across Antarctica in January, El Pais reported.
The expedition was aimed at showing that nothing is impossible for those with disabilities. But it also had a scientific objective, to collect samples from the polar ice over the 250-kilometre (400-mile) route.
Villalon, a paralympic skier, is practically blind, while Valbuena lost one leg in a motorcycle accident and Noriega was born without his right hand.
Enduring temperatures of minus 40 C and strong winds, they crossed the ice pulling sleds of around 60 kilogrammes (130 pounds).
It is the first time that disabled people have reached the South Pole without help from animals or machines, El Pais.
The expedition was financed by a foundation set up by the Spanish bank La Caixa and by the government of Spain's eastern region of Catalonia.
