Kyrgyzstani athlete Narynbek Nasyrov has achieved a remarkable feat by successfully completing an ultramarathon around Mont Blanc, one of the most challenging endurance races in Europe. The achievement, which has captured the attention of the international sporting community, was announced by Eduard Kubatov, the President of the Mountaineering and Climbing Federation of the Kyrgyz Republic, via social media.
The Mont Blanc ultramarathon is a grueling race that spans an astonishing 171 kilometers, traversing through three countries: France, Italy, and Switzerland. Participants in this epic event must conquer over 10,000 meters in elevation gain while facing unpredictable weather conditions and demanding terrain. With more than 2,000 athletes competing in the race, it has become one of the most popular and arduous ultramarathons in the world.
Eduard Kubatov praised Narynbek Nasyrov's unprecedented achievement in a Facebook post, saying;
"For the first time in the history of Kyrgyz sports, a Kyrgyzstani and now a resident of Switzerland, Narynbek Nasyrov, managed to do this! Few people have tried it before, and probably there is no such level of training! On my own behalf and on behalf of the Kyrgyz Mountaineering Federation, I would like to congratulate our athlete (trail running, sky running) on his outstanding achievement! He ran this most difficult route in the world in less than 46 hours and 30 minutes!"
Narynbek Nasyrov's extraordinary feat was nothing short of remarkable. He completed the daunting 171-kilometer course in just 40 hours and 8 minutes, securing the 860th place in the competition. His impressive performance demonstrated an exceptional level of endurance, determination, and physical prowess.
Notably, the Mont Blanc ultramarathon has a strict time limit of 46 hours and 30 minutes. Any athlete unable to finish within this time frame faces disqualification. Nasyrov's achievement was particularly noteworthy as he not only met but exceeded this challenging cutoff time.
Narynbek Nasyrov's accomplishment in the Mont Blanc ultramarathon showcases the extraordinary dedication and perseverance of Kyrgyzstani athletes on the international stage. His success will undoubtedly serve as an inspiration to aspiring athletes and mark a significant milestone in Kyrgyzstan's sporting history.
