Bhakti Sharma today said she was proud to break the world record in open-water swimming.
"It was chilling cold water at Antarctic Ocean and I could see small and big ice-bergs moving. The ocean was not clear. This was making the passage for my swimming difficult and challenging. At this juncture the ship helped in moving the small and medium ice-bergs and my passage was some-what clear. Before entering the water, I thought of my country and I realized this is the day I can make my country India proud," said Bhakti Sharma who has returned to India.
She is the first women from India and the youngest in the world to achieve the feat. Bhakti has now conquered all fives oceans of the world and she has broken this record after 12 years.
