There, Tsanko swam one of the most difficult swimming marathons &#8211; the Cook Strait, in record time.<\/p><p>&#8220;This was my hardest swim so far, although each of the marathons has its own specifics and characteristics. From the start I was subjected to this very cold water and in the first hour after the start there were big waves and strong currents. Maybe, I could have swum it in 4 hours and 30 minutes, but 6 hours and 23 minutes is the best time of the year too. Of the 11 swimmers who tried, only 5 managed to finish,&#8221; began Tsankov, who is one of the athletes supported by the Sport in Bulgaria Foundation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4f9969c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4f9969c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-79f1ce4\" data-id=\"79f1ce4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-139d269 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"139d269\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/1JFtgyo71bY?si=Ua84B4n05I9d59gN&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!
