Tata Mumbai Marathon: Olympic Games and pole vault champion Katie Moon, the international Event Ambassador for Mumbai Marathon 2024, is focused on qualifying for Paris 2024 as defending the title will come later.

“We are competing against the best at the US Championships, doing what we do well. So, qualifying for the US gives me a lot of confidence.”

It applies to defending champions as well. She emphasised what differentiates competitive sports and the mindset that one must have.
