LONDON (Reuters) - Arguably the finest endurance runner and probably the greatest adventure skier in the world, Kilian Jornet has never graced the Olympic Games, but he is not a man to wonder "what if?" after a lifetime of astonishing athletic achievement.

Topping the 32-year-old Spaniard's list is probably running up and down Everest, twice, within five days. "Fastest known times" up and down Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, Kilimanjaro and many more were also knocked off as part of his "Summits of my Life" project.
