Leena & Bhakti SharmaSports - Swimming (Rajasthan, India) 2012
LEENA & BHAKTI SHARMA – The unstoppable duo from Udaipur has stirred up a tempest of inspiration with their remarkable achievement. Bhakti, a 19-year-old, and her 43-year-old mother, Leena, hail from an ordinary Mewar family but have achieved something extraordinary—they are the first mother-daughter pair ever to conquer the English Channel.
Spanning nearly 560 kilometers in length and 240 kilometers at its widest point, the English Channel presents a formidable challenge, separating Southern England from Northern France. Their journey to Calaisport in France marked a historic moment as they etched their names in the annals of history as the first-ever mother-daughter duo to achieve this feat.
Their accomplishment is a testament to their unwavering determination and indomitable spirit. Crossing the English Channel is no small feat, and their achievement is truly a sea of triumph!
