Olympic long-distance runner Kavita Raut, 35, who was recently included as an executive committee member of the Maharashtra Athletics Association (MAA), is eager to work for athletes in rural areas. However, the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games silver-medallist clarified that she has not retired and aims to win a medal at the 2022 Beijing Asian Games.
"I have to now focus on two fronts-the association and my practice. I want to work in the association for the benefit of athletes in the rural areas, who find it difficult to get necessary assistance. It will be a different kind of challenge, but I am ready," Raut, who is in Dhule, Maharashtra, to promote a local marathon event, told mid-day on Friday.
