Chennai's Cycling Prodigy, 6, Sets World Record With 100-km Non-Stop Ride

The World Book of Records has recognised him for being the "fastest and youngest to perform non-stop distance cycling of 108.09 KM in 5 hours, 17 minutes and 6 seconds."

Chennai's six-year-old Rian Kumar has set a world cycling record, pedalling 100 kilometres non-stop in record time. The World Book of Records has recognised him for being the “fastest and youngest to perform non-stop distance cycling of 108.09 km in 5 hours, 17 minutes and 6 seconds.” Rian, whose parents are officers in the Indian Navy and had recently shifted to Chennai from Delhi, took inspiration from his mother Commander Gauri Sharma (Retd). Excited about his record, Rian told NDTV, “The thing I like most about cycling is speed. I practise cycling three days a week and static cycling and strength training on other days.”
