Indian endurance athlete Mann Sharma has established a new world record by completing 42.195 km entirely via broad burpees over nine consecutive days. The unprecedented "Burpee Marathon" was officially ratified by the World Book of Records, London, surpassing the prior mark of just 5.1 km by more than eight times. Held at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, representatives from the record-body presented the certificate and medal to Sharma, citing this as the first-ever burpee marathon in history. Alongside physical achievement, Sharma’s attempt also aimed to raise awareness and funds for education and social causes. (PC: NDTV)
