Vishwaraj Jadeja, India’s Fastest Long-Distance Ice Speed Skater, has put India on the map for Ice Skating. He trains as an elite athlete in the Netherlands and undertakes numerous adventure expeditions related to Ice Skating.
With 65 other national records, he surely has proven himself as a student of the sport. Some of his notable records would be for the fastest Indian for the 3K, 5K, and 10K long distance ice speed skating. He has also participated in the 2017 Asian Games over all the distances. Another record that he holds is competing in over 200 races for India.
Vishwaraj has always been a sports enthusiast. With a special interest in roller skating, he rose to the level of captaining the Indian national team. Of course, like every athlete who loves their sport, he had only one dream and one goal - representing India at the Olympics. Unfortunately, roller skating isn’t part of the Olympic sports, and that made him look for similar opportunities to explore.
It is then when he came face to face with ice skating and decided to go to Europe to train and master the sport. Of course, upon reaching the Netherlands, he realized that switching to ice skating from roller skating wasn’t going to be easy, and he dealt with his fair share of ups and downs until he met his current coach Wim Nieuwenhuizen,who is known to be one of the toughest coaches there is.
With these victories in hand he has his eyes on the Winter Olympics in 2022 and other international platforms like the Masters World Games (2020), the World Winter Games and the Asian Winter Games (2021). He also has a number of international races coming up where he will be representing India. Apart from that, he has his heart set on exploring frozen lakes across the world (between the altitudes of 4,000 metres - 5,500 metres) starting on the home turf.
