Meet the man who cycled 9,222km from Mongolia to Manchester to meet Wayne Rooney.
The challenge lasted a year starting on the 5th of May 2023 and ending on the 3rd of May 2024.
Ochirvaani Batbold ,27, travelled through 19 countries and encountering so many people along the way travelling a total of 9,222km all by himself.
The 27 year old professional footballer from _,Mongolia is a massive Manchester United fan ever since he attended the United Vs Liverpool in 2010.
The game finished 3-2 and Orchirvaani's love for United legend, Wayne Rooney started.
So, on the 5th May 2023, Orchirvaani's quest started in the capital city of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar before moving through China and Kazakhstan in the early stages of his journey tallying up to 3,000KM.
Orchirvanni's story has been followed by millions across the world and he even received a good luck message by Manchester United after they had received his letter explaining his challenge.
Orchirvaani said: "I relaxed so many times, it's a big challenge and I wanted to relax and see the natural cities and meet new people and I didn't rush."
"I'm going to feel every moment and every second. It's only one time in my life."
Orchirvaani cycled between 8-10 hours a day and stayed in a tent or if he needed to charge my phone and power bank, I stayed local people house, or small hostel, hotels.
The Mongolian managed to use the same bike throughout the entire journey even with a few flat tyres and broken chains.
Orchirvaani said: "My favourite moments were always when I saw beautiful nature and landscapes. They gave me peace, comfort, and happiness."
"I disliked the cold weather, wind, and mountains. They were very challenging for me. But I appreciated the experience because it made me stronger than before."
Orchirvaani spent a whole year cycling through 19 different countries across two continents.
He said: "I can’t choose just one country from my journey because each one had different feelings and motivations. I think I really enjoyed cycling through Asia."
"Everything was amazing and enjoyable. I met kind people and tasted delicious foods. People were always eager to help and support me."
