Romanian ultramarathonist Tiberiu Uşeriu completed last night the Yukon Arctic Ultra Mountain Race (300 miles, almost 500 kilometers, 30 January-7 February, Whitehorse, Canada). He placed second after Fabian Imfeld (Switzerland).

Of the 21 competitors, only two passed the finish line last night. Competitors had to face temperatures of minus 40 degrees Celsius and an extremely difficult route.

Romanian runner also participated last year in the competition, but he was forced to abandon after a hundred kilometers, due to frostbite.

Tiberiu Uşeriu won another race, the 6633 Arctic Ultra, three years in a row.
