Gaurvi Singhvi nadadora mais nova a concluir a Travessia do Canal da Mancha


A nadadora de origem indiana, Gaurvi Singhvi, foi a atleta mais jovem a concluir a Travessia do Canal da Mancha. A travessia foi entre a praia de Samphire Hoe (Inglaterra) e Cap Gris-Nez (França), com a duração de 13:26:00.

Singhvi declarou ao site The Hindu Digital: “More people have climbed Mount Everest than swum the English Channel. Open water swimming is not common in India due to the high-risk factor and the lack of exposure to adventure sports. For there to be more open water swimmers, we need proper facilities in every small town. But it also depends on the will of swimmers. I urge every one of them to try open water swimming once.”
