Jim Shekhdar : ウィキペディア英語版 | Jim Shekhdar
Jim Shekhdar is a British ocean rower and was the first person to complete a solo unassisted non-stop crossing of the Pacific Ocean. ==Career== Shekhdar was born in Leamington Spa, England in 1946 and lived in India from the age of seven to twelve, where he learned Hindi. Back in England, he went to university where he studied civil engineering. Shekhdar was a keen water polo player but stopped playing after a falling out with the British Water Polo Administration for claiming airfare to an International match. He stayed in Australia for a year and a half playing Rugby and working as an engineer. He then moved on to Papua New Guinea, Africa, the Middle East, New Zealand and Las Vegas. He finally returned to England where he was permitted to play water polo again, but was banned for life one more time after throwing a referee into the water.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Ocean Rowing Society )〕
