It was so heartening to see two Odia girls qualifying for Olympics in Sprint. On of the girl's best timing in 200m is 0.39 seconds lesser than the Olympics gold medal winner in Woman's category in 2012.
Breaking that hiatus of 0.39 seconds at that level, when a fraction of a second can decide the outcome of the race may be difficult, but not mission impossible. What they need is access to professional coaching, diet and training.
If required they should be allowed sponsorship to go abroad and avail world class facilities as well as coaching to stay competitive. That includes but not limited to special training, diets to improve the muscles in calf and below the knees to give that extra burst and boost to propel them to the next level, may be towards winning proposition.
It's not unusual for many Carribean and African runners train in USA and Europe. As said in Odia "BANA MALLI, BANARE JHADIJAE", meaning, "The Jasmine of the forest wilts away, its fragrance unknown to others". To spread the fragrance, one has to go out of box. In order to earn that competitive edge, one needs to get exposed to state of the art training. Raw talent can only take you this far.
