The Jay Thakkar Show Ft. Vishwaraj Jadeja.  India’s fastest long-distance ice speed skater, Vishwaraj Jadeja, has put India on the map for ice-skating. He trains as an elite athlete in the Netherlands and undertakes numerous adventure expeditions related to the sport.  With 65 other national records, he surely has proven himself as a student of the sport. Some of his notable records would be the fastest Indian for the 3K, 5K, and 10K long-distance ice speed skating. He has also participated in the 2017 Asian Games over all distances. Another record that he holds is competing in over 200 races for India.   Vishwaraj sir has always been a sports enthusiast. With a special interest in roller-skating, he rose to the level of captaining the Indian national team. Of course, like every athlete who loves his or her sport, he had only one dream and goal - to represent India at the Olympics. Unfortunately, roller-skating wasn’t a part of the Olympic Games, so that made him look for similar opportunities to explore.   It is then when he came face to face with ice-skating and decided to go to Europe to train in and master the sport. Of course, upon reaching the Netherlands, he realized that switching to ice-skating from roller-skating wasn’t going to be easy, and he dealt with his fair share of ups and downs until he met his current coach Wim Nieuwenhuizen, who is arguably known to be one of the toughest coaches in ice-skating in the world and in history.   Enjoy India's most Inspiring Podcast with Vishwaraj Jadeja.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jay-thakkar-10125/message
