Running to Her Own Beat: PT Usha Declares, ‘I Want to Be Known as Myself’

Legendary athlete and Indian Olympic Association (IOA) President PT Usha spoke about her journey of resiliency and uniqueness at the Delhi Dialogues 2025. "I want to be known as myself, PT Usha," Usha said, looking back on her career and highlighting her wish to inspire via genuineness rather than labels. Among the difficulties Usha has encountered as a trailblazer in Indian athletics and a current leader in sports administration are internal conflicts within the IOA. She calls India's bid to host the 2036 Olympics a "steadfast commitment" to presenting India on the international scene, despite this. Both women and athletes can relate to her message, which inspires them to overcome challenges and forge their own paths.
