Infobox[edit]

According to quick Internet research, she won a gold medal at National Championship in 2013, so I'll assume she's still active. Infobox, therefore, has parameters recommended for "active riders". See Template:Infobox cyclist#Usage.

Documentation for {{Infobox cyclist}} states that "birth_date" parameter is mandatory; thus, I have specified only approximate information. The correct information should be provided as soon as possible in the Infobox and in the Metadata.

Biography[edit]

"more than 5-hour drive"

Begs two questions:

"more than 5-hour drive" by what? Car? Bike?
Regardless of the transportation mode, how could she possibly train with a 10-hour round-trip commute?

Palmarès[edit]

All information in this section should be verified and supported by citations from reliable sources.

Possible problems:

Two National Track Cycling Championships in 2006? Although they occurred in different locations and in different months, coincidentally they both occurred on the same range of dates (16–21)

"Kriterium (Women)" is only specified once in her results, and I can't find it anywhere else on the Internet

Many "Mass Start" events. I couldn't find a Wiki article specifically related to cycling to use as a link for "Mass Start". Rather, "Mass start" seems to be a characteristic of various events in many different sports, not an event in itself.

Sometimes the event is referred to as "Olympic Sprint", sometimes as "Olympic Team Sprint". Are they different? If no, should the names be made consistent? I have linked both names to the same "Team sprint" Wiki article.

For National Mountain Bike Cycling Championship, Time Trial, I found the Wiki article "Mountain bike trials", but it is not timed.

Is the "Palmarès" list too long? I think "Yes". What should be cut?

Possibilities for deletion:

Years 2002-2005 (because all medals were won in "Girls" categories)
All medals won in "Girls" categories regardless of year

[Important note: Anything deleted could be converted to text for the "Biography" section]

General comments[edit]

Needless to say, this article lacks lots of content. Although the "Palmarès" section only covers through 2009, here's more information that I encountered while copy editing that could be included in the article:

the Wiki article "Kerala at the 2011 National Games of India" mentions Mahitha Mohan several times (4 gold medals and 4 silver medals);
the website Cycling Archives states that she won a gold medal in 2013 National Championship
