New Delhi: Dutee Chand is sprinting hard and she has her aim set — the coveted gold medal at the Rio Olympics where she would compete in the 100-metre event, the first Indian woman to do so in 36 years. Dutee has brought her chequered career back on track by clinching Olympic qualification earlier this month with a national record. This 20-year-old from Odisha is now aiming to do what no Indian athlete has managed so far — win a gold medal at ‘the greatest show on earth’.
