Bhubaneswar: Vedaant Madhavan on Sunday broke the National Junior Record for the 1500 m freestyle at the ongoing 48th Junior National Aquatic Championships being held at the Biju Patnaik Swimming Pool in the iconic Kalinga stadium here.
Vedaant clocked 16:01.73 to eradicate his state-mate Advait Page's record of 16:06.43 seconds which was created in 2017. He outsmarted Karnataka's Amogh Anand Venkatesh who timed 16:21.98 seconds and Bengal's Shubhojeet Gupta whose time was 16:34.06 to win the bronze.
Vedaant had won a gold in swimming at the Danish Open 2022 in Copenhagen. The budding Indian swimmer is multi-lingual actor R Madhavan's son.
