Kolkata, July 24 -- After becoming the first athlete from Bengal to qualify for the World U20 Athletics Championships, Tahura Khatun is now chasing even bigger goals.
The 19-year-old will compete at the World U20 Championships in Oregon, USA, but says her ultimate ambition is to one day stand on top of the Olympic podium.
"My ultimate goal is to win gold at the Olympics. For now, I am totally focused on the World U20 Athletics Championships. I will compete in the mixed 4x400m relay, which will require a collective effort from the entire team in order to win a medal. However, I will put in my best effort and will do my best to make the country proud," Tahura said before leaving for the United States.
