She reportedly started the race in slippers, but removed them when they kept slipping off. She carried them in her hands and continued barefoot to the finish line, beating younger runners in sportswear. Ramabai received a cash prize of 3,000 rupees, which she plans to use to support her daughter’s education. Her determination drew applause from spectators and organisers.
