Vishwas Mote, a deputy commissioner in Mumbai’s civic body, has conquered the challenging 'Ironman Italy Emilia Romagna' triathlon in Cervia, Italy, on September 21.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) proudly shared the news on Tuesday.
The triathlon saw Mote swimming in the Adriatic Sea, cycling, and running, all of which he completed in 15 hours, 25 minutes, and 4 seconds.
Out of 2,439 global participants, including 28 from India, Mote earned the sought-after 'Ironman' title.

Reflecting on his achievement, Mote shared that he hopes his experience inspires others to focus on their fitness.
"It’s a huge honor to win the Ironman title. No matter how busy we get, staying fit is crucial. A healthy body can help you achieve so much more. I hope my journey pushes others to prioritize their health," he said.
Back in November 2022, Mote also completed the 'Ironman 70.3' event in Goa.
