Sheffield woman completes solo row across Atlantic Ocean

A Sheffield woman is thought to be the first “woman of colour” to row solo across any ocean after completing a 3,000-mile voyage across the Atlantic.

Ananya Prasad, 34, who was born in India, started her journey on 11 December from La Gomera in the Canary Islands, before completing the voyage in Antigua on Saturday, after 52 days at sea.

Despite having no rowing experience, she decided to take part in the World’s Toughest Row event, in which she was the only solo female entrant.

She said she hopes her achievement will encourage others to “take on challenges they might not have considered possible”.
