Udaipur, Rajasthan (Kiran News) – Apoorv Dave of Udaipur has etched his name in history by securing a bronze medal at the prestigious ICN (I Compete Natural) International Bodybuilding Competition held in Hyderabad. This marks the first time an athlete from Udaipur has represented the city on such an international stage and returned with a medal, bringing pride to the entire region.
ICN is a global federation known for its commitment to pure, drug-free competitions, operating in 88 countries with over 31,000 members worldwide. Apoorv, 34, began his fitness journey with the simple goal of staying healthy. Despite working 9–10 hours daily at an IT company, he achieved this milestone in bodybuilding through hard work, discipline, and consistency. Remarkably, he accomplished this feat while adhering strictly to a vegetarian and natural diet.
Reacting to Apoorv’s achievement, his coach Raghu said, “I am extremely impressed and proud that Apoorv stepped onto the stage. For someone with a full-time job, it is extremely challenging as it demands mental toughness, and reducing fat percentage requires intense effort and cardio work. I am confident that his journey will inspire many more people.”
Apoorv Dave’s accomplishment is not just a matter of pride for Udaipur, but for all of Rajasthan and India. His journey stands as proof that with determination and persistence, no dream is impossible.
