Erawati represented Indonesia at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed for the women's 100 m hurdles. She ran in the fifth and final heat against seven other athletes, including Jamaica's Brigitte Foster-Hylton, and Dawn Harper of the United States, who later dominated this event by winning an Olympic gold medal. She finished the heat in seventh place by twenty-four hundredths of a second (0.24) behind Haiti's Nadine Faustin, with a slowest possible time of 13.49 seconds. Erawati, however, failed to advance into the semi-finals, as she placed thirty-fourth overall, and ranked below two mandatory slots for the next round.[6]

Due to her achievements while representing Jakarta at the National Sports Week events, she was appointed as a civil servant at the provincial government.[7]
