Nine-year-old completes 24-hour US Navy race

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

A nine-year-old girl from Florida has become the youngest person ever to complete a 24-hour, 36 mile long US Navy obstacle race. Her father, Christian Bizzotto said that Milla “comes to the gym” and trains with adults on a regular basis. She wanted to compete in the Battle Frog race after finding the kid’s courses too easy for her ability. Christian, who is a personal trainer, helped his daughter achieve her goal race, despite thinking that the experience would be a “humbling experience” for her. Milla, who trains for up to three hours a day, five days a week, came 19th in the women’s elite heat. This clip is originally from 5 live Drive on Tuesday 29 March 2016.
