Robert Dill-Bundi - Switzerland

He competed for Switzerland in the 1980 Summer Olympics held in Moscow, Soviet Union in the individual pursuit event where he won Gold.
 In 1999 he was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor and in 2007 doctors gave him 2 month to live, but he is still alive, because according to him he is using a electrical box, always carrying it around with him, and it is connected to diodes on his head, where it sends a current of 2 ampere through his head.
