Arnold Schwarzenegger. Gerhard Gulewicz would not have given any other name if one had asked him about his great role model at the age of 15. At that time, the Bad Ischler only used the bike to shorten the way to the nearest gym – big biceps instead of great endurance. Gullewicz wanted to become world champion, mind you in strength. At least he became the state and state champion, before the World Cup, in which he had good chances of letting himself among the top three, he suffered a serious injury to his left shoulder. End of career – for now.

Because giving up was never an option for Gullewicz. Although he remained loyal to strength sport by opening several studios, but he never trained himself there. “Accordingly, my body changed. I then became relatively thick,” he said in an interview almost ten years ago.
The “trophy” as a starting shot
However, it didn’t take long to reinvent the sporty fire that had never been completely gone. The trigger was a bet: Because friends talked about the Salzkammergut Trophy and believed that when cycling, “there is nothing like it, except left and right,” he let himself be carried away to promise to tackle the 110-kilometer route.
