Actor R Madhavan is undoubtedly one of the most celebrated actors in India, who has contributed immensely to the realm of cinemas in our country throughout his career.
However, right now, it is not Mr Madhavan, but his son, Mr Vedaant Madhavan, who has taken the internet by storm! The swimming champion has bagged not just one, but five gold medals over the last weekend at the 58th Malaysian Invitational age group championship 2023.
At just the age of 17, Vedaant has left his mark in the global domain of swimming and has added phenomenal records to his name already. According to the reports, he won 5 gold medals for 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m and 1500m, which proves his dominance over the sport.
Earlier, for Maharashtra, Vedaant had won three gold medals (boys 100m, 200m and 1500m) and two silver (boys 400m and 800m) at the Khelo India Youth Games 2022.
In 2022, he participated in the 48th Junior National Aquatics Championships and became the first Indian swimmer to break the records of the 1500m freestyle by finishing the race within 16:01.73 seconds. He bagged 4 gold medals and 3 silver medals.
A very proud father shared an extremely emotional post online praising his son on his achievement at the Malaysian tournament on Instagram on Sunday.
The post was captioned:
“With God's grace and all your good wishes Vedaant gets 5 golds for India ( 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m and 1500m) with 2 PB`s at the Malaysian invitational age group championships, 2023 held this weekend in Kuala Lumpur. Elated and very grateful.”
