\nKazimira Lu\u017enik was born in 1934 into a family of musicians in the village of Kanal on the So\u010da River, which was then part of Italy; she witnesses World War II, works as an X-ray technician, builds a \u2018little paradise\u2019 with her husband, a paediatrician, and has been running marathons since she was 46 \u2013 most recently in Ljubljana in autumn 2024, when, at 91, she was Slovenia’s oldest runner.
\nHow does she look back on her family life, career and history? What is her everyday life like today? How does she keep fit? How does she motivate herself to do sport every day? What hopes, wishes and plans does she have for herself, for young people and for the world? \u2013 Just a few of the questions posed by Amaya Kragolnik, Evita Kranjec, Julija Punger\u0161ek and Leon Romih during a talk with Kazimira Lu\u017enik at O\u0160 Lava\/Celje on 16 December 2025: open-minded, fond of life, full of stories and energy, thoughtful, inspiring and with a great sense of humour.
