Going to school, playing with friends and watching cartoons on Television, that’s all we used to do when we were 8-years-old, however, things are different for Pooja Bishnoi. From setting records competing in an international marathon to having six-pack abs, this girl is breaking stereotypes one at a time.
Pooja Bishnoi is living with her parents and younger brother. Her mother Mima Devi is a homemaker, father Ashok Bishnoi is a farmer. She is studying in class 3rd in Shiv Shakti UPS School.
Pooja Bishnoi, the 8-year-old athletic angel of India, has become the youngest girl to achieve all these milestones. However, all this wouldn’t have been possible without the support from our Indian skipper, Virat Kohli’s foundation.

Her achievements so far include:
• Covered 3 km run in 12.50 minutes(U10 world record)

• Covered 10 km run in 48 minutes
• Supported by Virat Kohli Foundation

The interesting thing about Pooja Bishnoi is that she isn’t involved in the sports-related activity and spends most of her time studying and training hard. In an interview, Pooja revealed her daily routine. She said:
“I woke up early at 3 AM and practice till 7 AM after which I go to my school and study there till 2 PM. Then again I start my practice from 4 PM which usually ends up to 8 PM. This is all that I do daily. I don’t take any tuitions or extra classes. I study by myself.”
Earlier in September, Pooja was honored by Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachhan. That time she took to her Instagram and thanked Virat Kohli Foundation for supporting her. She wrote:
