Indian Sailors Make History in Global Race

Abhilash Tomy, an Indian adventurer, has become the first Asian and Indian to complete the 30,000-mile Golden Globe Race, the longest endurance race on the planet, sailing solo around the world. Tomy, who had to learn to walk again after a horrific accident in a storm during the 50th anniversary edition of the race in 2018, completed the race in 236 days, coming second overall. He was greeted with cheers and congratulations in the French town of Les Sables d'Olonne upon his return.
