It’s a proud moment for R Madhavan, as his son broke a national junior record at a swimming competition. Vedaant Madhavan rewrote the national record in the 1500 m freestyle event for group I boys at the ongoing 48th Junior National Aquatic Championships being held at the Biju Patnaik Swimming Pool in the iconic Kalinga Stadium, Bhubaneswar.
He broke the previous holder’s record of 16 minutes and established a new meet milestone.
Madhavan wrote, “Never say never. National Junior Record for 1500m freestyle broken,” and added several hearts, folded hands emojis to his post.
