Father-son duo from city shine in triathlon competition in Australia

Kunal Kashikar, who is a Pune-based businessman, competed in the 'Ironman Triathlon' while his son Viaan competed in the 'Ironkids' category. Kunal said his son Viaan is the first child in Maharashtra to have qualified for this competition, that too in his very first attempt. Interestingly, Viaan's mother, Minal Kashikar, too is an athlete.

The 'Ironman Triathlon' is one of the toughest competitions in endurance sports and requires a broad range of skills, strengths and endurance as it involves three different disciplines namely swimming, cycling and running. Typically, it takes nearly eight to 17 hours for athletes to complete the entire course. The competition attracts top-level athletes from around the world, which makes it extremely competitive.
