Jade Kingdom, 35, from Barnstaple, Massachusetts, who has Down syndrome, became the first to complete a sprint triathlon in London, becoming another Guinness World Records heroine.

This famous book now includes the results with which the girl completed the triathlon, which took place on August 7 and took the special athlete two hours, 39 minutes and 55 seconds:
-750 meters she swam;
-20 km rode a bicycle;

  • ran 5 km.

She dedicated her act to charity and raised £20,000 for a hospice in North Devon.

Jade became the “poster girl” who proved to people with developmental disabilities that little is impossible for them, and anyone who has a real desire and works hard on themselves can get into the book of records.

Jade’s mother, Judy Kingdom, said she was extremely proud of her daughter. “I never in my wildest dreams thought that she would be able to do this. But she works really hard, she trains constantly.”

Having successfully completed one, the girl is now preparing for her next challenge: a 10 km swim along the Serpentine River in London’s Hyde Park.

Let’s wish her good luck and new records!
