World record-breaking extreme sports?fitness?athlete Ross Edgley has always pushed his body to extreme limits to accomplish marvelous achievements. The author of Sports Science once swam and completed a circumnavigation of Great Britain. It was not done just via a boat; he swam for 6 to 12 hours every day and rested in his support boat for the rest of the day. The incredible feat was completed in 155 days, and then he reached the coast. Edgley, who is also a friend of Chris Hemsworth, made the actor marvel at his incredible strength and adventurous spirit seven years ago. Since then, Hemsworth has followed in the triathlete?s footsteps.

Edgley, who relates to Sisyphus and claims that adventure sports are his??boulder,??recently revealed an astounding fact about himself. Fans were genuinely stunned when they learned about this new information.
