Being in the company of Olympic champions can either intimidate or overawe you. Not if the person answers to the name of Katie Moon though. The gold medallist in pole vault in Tokyo and double world champion in Oregon and Budapest, Moon hopes to defend her crown later this year in Paris.
The 32-year-old Atlanta-based athlete is in Mumbai as the event ambassador of the 19th Tata Mumbai Marathon. Dressed in a deep red event tee and black tights, Moon took time out for a chat with TOI from the rooftop of the south Mumbai hotel that she is staying in.
