Unhone Subah 7:36 Baje Se Dophar 2:37 Baje Tak Currents And Fatigue Se Battle Karte Huye Swimming Ki Aur Wo Haasil Kiya Jo Unhe Starting Me Ak Aur Challenge Lag Raha Tha. Wo Batati Hain Ki, Unhone Ocen Ko Save Karne Ke Liye Awareness Raise Karne Ke Liye Kiya, Lekin Baad Me Officials Ne Unhe Bataya Ki Unhone Ak Record Break Kar Diya Hai.
Queeni, Jo Ak Tailor Hain Aur Do Bachchon Ki Maa Hain, Ne Swimming Ko 2018 Me Hi Seriously Liya. Wo Yaad Karte Huye Batati Hain, Bachpan Me Unhone Swimming And Cycling Seekhi Kyuki Unke Grandfather Ka Maanna Tha Ki Ye Ak Aisi Skill Hai Jo Har Ladke Aur Ladki Me Honi Chahiye. Saalon Baad Jab Wo Apne Bachchon Ko Swimming Practice Ke Liye Le Jaane Lagi, Toh Unhone Bhi Isme Shaamil Hone Ka Decision Liya. Ye Unhe Support Karne Ke Roop Me Start Hua, Lekin Phir Ye Kuchh Aur Ban Gaya.
Tab Se, Wo June 2024 Me English Channel Cross Kar Chuki Hain, Aisa Karne Wali Wo Telangana Aur Andhra Pradesh Ki First Woman Ban Gayi Hain. Iske Alawa, Wo Underwater Master Fin World Championship Me Compete Karne Wali First South Indian Bhi Thi, Jahan Unhone 2 Silver Medals Jeete.
Unka Aim Apne Bachchon Ke Saath World Ke Sabhi Seven Channels Me Tairna Hai. Wo Logon Ko Ye Dikhana Chahti Hain Ki Open Water Swimming Impossible Nahi Hai, Chahe Aapki Age Or Circumstances Kuchh Bhi Hon.
Halanki, Open Water Swimming Ke Liye Training Lena Easy Nahi Hai. “Samudra Me Swimming Alag Hai. Breaststroke Aur Freestyle Sabse Best Hai, Lekin Current Sab Kuchh Tough Kar Deti Hain. Aapko Fast Hona Chahiye.” Queeni & Stephen Daily Practice Karte The, Har Subah 4 Se 5 Ghante Aur Shaam Ko Week Me 3 Baar 3 Ghante Extra Practice Karte The. Gym Me Strength Training Unke Schedule Ka Rest Part Fill Kar Deti Thi.
National Swimming Champion Stephen Unke Sabse Bade Supporter Aur Teammate Rahe Hain. “Mother-Son Ki Team Ke Roop Me Aisa Karna Aapko Ak-Doosre Ke Baare Me Bahot Kuchh Sikhata Hai. Isse Ak Aisa Bond Create Hota Hai Jise Words Me Describe Karna Mushkil Hai,” Wo Kahti Hain. Unka Next Goal Iss April Me South Africa Ke Robben Island Se Tairna Hai, Ak Challenge Jiske Liye Wo Pahle Se Hi Taiyari Kar Rahe Hain.
Originally Nalgonda Ki Rahne Wali Queeni Mahbubnagar Ke Amangal Me Rahti Hain Aur Ab Hyderabad Me Kachiguda Ke Paas Rahti Hain. Apni Achievements Ke Baawjood, Unhe Kai Hurdles Face Karne Pade, Especially Sponsorship Secure Karne Ki Koshish Karte Time.
Log Kahte The, “Iss Age Me Tum Kya Tairogi?” Mujhe Apni Subah Sponsors Ko Convince Karne Me Spend Karni Padti Thi, Iss Process Me Practice Sessions Miss Ho Jaate The. Eventually, Jothi Raj, S. Akbar, Aspire Enterprises, Dreamaxiz Software Pvt Ltd, Packers And Movers, Aur Hyderabad Police Jaise Individuals And Organisations Se Support Mila. “Age Is Just A Number. Agar 92 Saal Ke Log Record Break Kar Sakte Hain, Toh Main 44 Saal Ki Age Me Kyun Nahi Kar Sakti,” Usne Puchha.
