After nearly four decades, two Bangladeshi swimmers — Nazmul Haque Himel from Kishoreganj and Mahfizur Rahman Sagar from Pabna — have successfully crossed the English Channel. The duo completed the 12-hour swim on Tuesday after training for ten days in the UK. This marks the first such achievement by Bangladeshis since Mosharraf Hossain in 1987. Prior to that, Brojen Das, the first Asian to cross the channel, did it six times between 1958 and 1961, followed by Abdul Malik in 1965.
After a long gap of 37 years, two Bangladeshi swimmers have successfully crossed the English Channel — a feat last achieved by a Bangladeshi in 1987.
