Sepoy Tomar, who broke the previous record of 918.24 m, set by Elliot Gronadhil from Sweden said: “We had been practising for this moment for the last three to four months. We cannot showcase our talent if we feel tense and show pressure. I encourage people to do these kinds of stunts with all safety measures.”
Havildar Manish said that he had planned to do this stunt six months ago and practised for four months: “We practised three to four hours a day continuously. When I saw the previous 580-m record, I thought I could set a great target. Now, finally, we did it.”
