Back in high school, we will always say what a man can do, a woman can do better and that is what this 21-year-old British Jasmine Harrison has done, She has become the youngest female to row across an ocean after completing the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.
Ms Harrison, from Thirsk, North Yorkshire, completed the 3000-mile journey in 70 days, three hours and 48 minutes which is indeed a great expression of strength.
A report has it in a statement" She set off from La Gomera in the Canary Islands on December 12 and arrived on Saturday February 20th into Antigua in the West Indies.
Ms Harrison was moved to compete in the challenge after visiting Antigua and witnessing the finish of the event in 2017.
A total of 21 international entrants including four-man crews, all-female boats and solo competitors rowed in this edition of the annual Atlantic Challenge, which raises money for charity and Miss Harrison stood out.
Carsten Heron Olsen; the CEO of Atlantic Campaigns, said Ms Harrison had shown "incredible strength and endurance".
One reason she is our woman crush for today is, Miss Harrison supported charities including Shelterbox, which helps provide emergency shelter to families around the world, she was inspired to support Shelter after witnessing hurricane damage on an earlier visit to the Caribbean.
She said"It is the best experience a young person could ever want or have".
Feeling happy about her victory, She said
"I would do it again but at the same time I would rather have other people regardless of age".
More wins,more trophy Miss Harrison.
