Asian Track Cycling Championships: After clinching a gold medal in the junior Team Sprint event at the Asian Track Cycling Championships here, India’s Sarita Kumari, whose father works as a mason in Jharkhand, wants to provide a better life for her parents.

Her journey to the podium is inspirational. Despite her father's profession of building houses, Savita, who has five sisters and two brothers, has a semi-constructed home.

She was selected in the Khelo India SAI centre in Patiala based on her running skills in 2021. It was there that she encountered a bicycle for the first time.
