Assam’s ace swimmer Elvis Ali Hazarika becomes the first from the North East to cross the English Channel both ways.
Hazarika completed the 78 km distance to and fro, clocking a time of 31 hours by swimming it in a relay from England’s Hampshire to Calis in France and then back on Wednesday.
”I have been waiting for this day for a long time. After a lot of effort and hours of pushing myself to work harder, every day, I successfully have become the first Assamese (North East) to cross the English Channel two ways,” Hazarika said in a tweet.
It is a dream come true and a proud moment for all Indians and Assamese people, he said.
