Aysu Türkoğlu becomes youngest Turkish athlete to cross Tsugaru Strait
Ultra-marathon swimmer Aysu Türkoğlu crossed Japan's Tsugaru Strait in 13 hours and 44 minutes, earning the title of the youngest Turkish athlete to achieve this feat.
The Tsugaru Strait, one of the most challenging open-water swimming courses, was conquered by Aysu Türkoğlu's determination. According to a statement from her sponsor Vestel's US-based social media account, Türkoğlu battled strong currents and high waves to complete the approximately 45-kilometer distance in 13 hours and 44 minutes.
With this achievement, Aysu Türkoğlu has gone down in history as the youngest Turkish athlete to cross the Tsugaru Strait. She now has only one course left in the Oceans Seven series, which comprises the world's seven most challenging open-water swims.
