Indian para-swimmer Satendra Singh Lohiya ne New Zealand ke Cook Strait ko safalta se cross karke ek historic achievement hasil kiya hai. Ye Cook Strait duniya ke sabse challenging open-water sea routes me se ek maana jaata hai, jahan thandi paani ki temperature, tez currents aur unpredictable waves hoti hain — aur ab Satendra ne is mushkil challenge ko complete karke Asia ke pehle para-swimmer banne ka gaurav paaya hai.
Satendra, jo Madhya Pradesh ke Bhind district se hain aur jinko 2024 mein Padma Shri se bhi sammanit kiya gaya tha, ne is mission ke liye New Zealand January ke teesre hafte mein pahunche aur wahan ke thande paani mein hard training ki. Unhone 23.6 km ki duri ko 9 ghante 22 minute mein tai kiya aur Cook Strait ko cross kiya.
Is jeet par Madhya Pradesh ke Chief Minister Mohan Yadav ne Satendra ko dil se badhai di aur kaha ki unke iss kaamyabi se poore desh aur MP ko garv mehsoos ho raha hai. Unhone kaha ki ye achievement unke determination aur spirit ko dikhata hai jo aane wali peedhiyon ke liye prerna ka kaaran banega.
Satendra ki kahani aur bhi inspiring hai — unke dono pair bachpan mein diarrhea ke proper treatment na milne ki wajah se disabled ho gaye the, phir bhi unhone 2017 se open-water swimming shuru ki aur 2018 mein English Channel ko bhi cross kiya tha. Unhone National Paralympic swimming championships aur international events mein kayi medals bhi jeete hain.
