Ace swimmer Elvis Ali Hazarika has become the first Assamese to swim across the English Channel in relay mode in 13 hours. This marks Hazarika’s 14th sea-crossing in his professional swimming career.
“With a lot of hard work, I have finally become the first Assamese to swim the English Channel in relay mode. The swim began at 1:30 am and took 13 hours to complete. It was extremely tiring — the swim, the overall endeavour. Joi Aai Axom,” Hazarika said in a statement after the swim.
