This Woman Completed A 42km Marathon Wearing A SAREE
44-year-old Jayanthi Sampath Kumar completed the 42km Hyderabad marathon in a saree. Yes, a saree. How she managed to do so is beyond our belief. Many girls these days can hardly manage to survive a day in saree!
Wearing sandals and rocking a bindi on her forehead, the Indian woman competed against 20,000 other runners. According to a report by Deccan Chronicle, she said, “I want to promote handloom and encourage women. This is a statement of my support. I am a cyclist and ride very often, and notice a lot of plastic pollution happening around us.”

Having completed the marathon, Jayanthi’s next mission is to make her way into the Guinness Book of World Records. “I informed them about my attempt, and I am waiting to submit the evidence, which will come in the form of certificate that the event organisers will provide,” she stated.
